Guru Cool: IIM Kozhikode director Debashis Chatterjee on changing face of education

Abstract

In the changing landscape of education, the new face of leadership is softer and less formal. This shift is exemplified by three remarkable women I met during one of my visits to the US with the education minister of India. These three women were then leading major US universities: Drew Faust, the first female president of Harvard University; Susan Hockfield, the first woman and life scientist to lead MIT; and Renu Khator, the first Indian American woman to become the chancellor and president of the University of Houston.
