Apparently, quite a bit. According to our database, more than 100 of our living alumni are serving or have served as CEO, president, or high-level executives at their firms.
On leadership and the KA connection William Toole ’78 says “I learned how to Listen, deliberately entertain others opinions, ask for help, listen, honesty, fair, listen, be prepared to accept the consequences when you are wrong, and give others credit for work well done.”
