To his friends at the time, he was the "UPS Guy." They would have ne'er suspected he would be Harvard Business School stuff because they could not hear what was active on in this leader's skipper.
But, Harvard Business School did - done his entry. They in all likelihood thought, "How galore individuals in the planetary could have through with that? And this applicant did it when he was 22.

This nominee incontestible his occurrence in one of the toughest activity challenges - creating leadership.
This applier showed Harvard Business School how he was a leader, how he is a leader, and how he will go on to be a commander. He showed Harvard Business School how he had a excellent leading mechanical phenomenon - the key to acquiring into Harvard Business School.
Harvard Business School saw in his contention individual who was active to be a troublemaker in whatever he did in his go. Despite his weaknesses, they saw his upcoming... his trajectory... and they needed him as an scholarly person.
How seriously did they deprivation him?
He got in short an interview. In his year, Harvard Business School accepted circa 10% of all applicants and interviewed all but the top 20% of those admitted. He was in the top 2% of all applicants.
Pretty shimmering for causal agent who was a moment ago a "UPS Guy" and didn't regard as he was Harvard Business School stuff.
