President Biden vowed during his quest for the White House to make the Saudi crown prince, Mohammed bin Salman, a “pariah” over the killing and dismemberment of a dissident. He threatened the prince again last fall with “consequences” for defying American wishes on oil policy. Mr. Biden, visiting Saudi Arabia last year, fist bumped Prince Mohammed when they met and regularly dispatches officials to see him — including his secretary of state, Antony J. Blinken, this past week. Senator Graham grinned next to the prince — known by his initials M.B.S. — during a visit to Saudi Arabia in April.

She subsequently joined technology-focused investment firm Battery Ventures in 2018 as an associate and has risen to vice president.

Under his leadership, Morgan Stanley became a wealth management powerhouse that aims to manage $10 trillion in assets. Morgan Stanley bought money manager Eaton Vance, online broker E*Trade, and stock-plan manager Solium Capital under Gorman's leadership. He was also the key architect behind Morgan Stanley's purchase of Smith Barney, a brokerage and investment adviser, in 2009. The acquisitions have made Morgan Stanley's U.S. wealth business an "asset gathering monster," and a "killer machine," he said on an earnings conference call last month. "This structure will ensure the continued stability of Morgan Stanley, while at the same time positioning it for a decade of exciting growth under new leadership."

Images: Bay Area News Group/AP/Zuma Press/iStock Photo Composite: Mark KellyAs a regular old, capitalist Boomer gal teaching bright and shiny young M.B.A. students, I sometimes find myself wondering if Generation Z is brilliant or bonkers. Burnout, self-care, boundaries—they need and want them all, sigh. But because I love my students, and they so often surprise me with their profound self-awareness, boundless creativity and poignant longing to save the planet, I usually delight in the discrepancies in our understanding of how the world works. It will all sort itself out in the end, I tell myself, when they bump into reality.

She became intrigued by land use changes, and then, gradually, by the links between climate change and sustainable food systems. Kolman, who grew up in Savannah, Ga., majored in physics and political science at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. “I spent my time in undergrad searching for a career where I could use my analytical skills to improve society,” he told me. A trip to South Africa, which has dealt with successive droughts exacerbated by climate change, brought home “the impacts of water insecurity.”He considered working in public policy but those plans changed after the 2016 election. Kossoff, who calls herself the “most recent climate convert,” grew up mostly in southwest Florida and studied business and chemistry at Emory University.
☆ McKinsey, Bain Delay Some M.B.A. Start Dates to 2024
  + stars: | 2023-04-18 | by ( Lindsay Ellis | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
McKinsey & Co. told students that they will learn their start dates with at least two months’ notice. Consulting giants McKinsey & Co. and Bain & Co. are delaying start dates for new M.B.A. hires, or in some cases paying them thousands of dollars to put off starting their jobs. Consulting firms are among the biggest recruiters of business-school talent. Delaying the start dates for so many fresh grads is causing anxiety on campuses and suggests these businesses may have wider concerns about the economy.
☆ Why Does Your Boss Reject All of Your Good Ideas?

A splendid idea from an internal subordinate can activate a threat response from that employee’s leader, research shows. Leigh Thompson is the J. Jay Gerber Professor of Dispute Resolution and Organizations and a director of executive-education programs at Northwestern University’s Kellogg School of Management. Previously, as a midlevel manager in a services business, she had frequently presented to senior leaders what she thought were creative, innovative ideas. Ultimately, my student grew frustrated and left the company and started her own consulting firm. When her old employer became a client, she presented her favorite previously dismissed ideas to the same leaders—and this time they loved them!

If only every harried middle-aged father trying to hold down the fort while Mom is out doing important things could enjoy a payoff like the one depicted in “The Lost King”: “Boys, boys! Your mother’s just found Richard III !”The woman is Philippa Langley ( Sally Hawkins ), today Philippa Langley M.B.E. after being honored by the queen in 2015 for her services to the United Kingdom. You may recall, as I did, hearing in 2012 a jolly little news item about how “they” found the bones of the slain Richard in a parking lot. Let the film tell you.

You have to be a fairly committed tennis follower to already know the story of Matija Pecotić, but that may change soon. In February, Pecotić, a crafty Croatian left-hander born in Belgrade and raised in Malta, notched his first-ever victory in an ATP Tour main draw when he defeated former top-10 player Jack Sock at a tournament in Delray Beach, Florida. It was a nice breakthrough win. What made it stand out was that Pecotić is 33 years old—an advanced age at which men’s players not named Roger, Rafa or Novak are usually starting to decline, or at least plateau.
☆ A Sneakerhead’s Worst Nightmare: Everyone Is Wearing Your Limited-Edition Nikes
  + stars: | 2023-02-07 | by ( Inti Pacheco | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
Zack Jones, a 26-year-old M.B.A. student from Provo, Utah, loves sneakers and the chase of getting them, especially the Nike Inc. limited-edition versions that can sell out fast. In early 2021, he paid a reseller $280—2½ times the sticker price—to snag a pair of “Panda” Dunks, a white-and-black leather sneaker by Nike, when he wasn’t able to get a pair directly from the sneaker giant. Then Nike did something that sneakerheads didn’t expect. The company, stepping on the thrill, restocked the Panda Dunk several times after the initial release. Suddenly the shoes were everywhere, which can be the kiss of death for collectors and die-hards who are trying to look different.

I awoke again not long ago to news of layoffs, in this case Alphabet cutting 12,000 jobs, or 6% of its thought-to-be-impervious workforce. My immediate thought wasn’t “too bad” or “not again.” It was “bingo.”Yes, bingo, albeit not the game of chance you played at summer camp. I’m thinking of Industry Bingo, a game I invented to play with my students at New York University’s Stern School of Business, where I teach a class called “Becoming You: Crafting the Authentic Career You Want and Need.”

In a 2020 podcast, Rep. George Santos bragged about graduating from NYU without student debt. Santos has previously criticized student debt relief, saying it would be an unfair policy. That didn't stop him from sharing his opinions on student debt during his initial, and failed, congressional run three years ago. In May 2022, he wrote on Twitter: "Allow me to solve the student debt issue: Step 1: You take out the loan. "Student debt cancellation will change lives, and I'm proud to have fought for it," Congressional Progressive Caucus Chair Pramila Jayapal wrote on Twitter.

The resume Rep. George Santos gave the Nassau County Republican Committee is full of lies. The resume, published by the New York Times, says he graduated from Baruch College summa cum laude with a high 3.89 GPA. Santos told the GOP committee he had obtained the high GPA at Baruch College, which recently said Santos never attended. Joseph Cairo, the chair of the Nassau County Republican Committee, called for Santos to resign on Wednesday. Cairo also pointed to another lie he said Santos told him.

Big layoff announcements and growing fears about the economy usually mean more applications to M.B.A. and other graduate programs. But this time, career advisers and analysts are preaching caution. Signs of a slowdown generally spark interest in graduate studies from both recent college graduates and those in the middle of their career. What better time to pause a career and acquire new skills for when the boom times return, the logic typically goes.
