Clayton Christensen was a Kore...The link works now.<br />Clayton Christensen was a Korean missionary, 1971-1973, the generation just following mine. He was from the era of Ralph Knapp, serving in Korea under L.Ed Brown as mission president. Post mission, I went to ISU for a couple of semesters, and then when Mom and I married,I decided to transfer to BYU. Those guys (Ralph, Clayton, and a number of others) were just returning from Korea, and we all ended up taking an advanced Korean language course which challenged a number of lower classes, and ultimately resulted in something like 16 A credits (really helped my transcript.) Anyway, I got to know Clayton well during that semester. He's about 6'6" but is not at all imposing, because he has a very king demeanor. He's a very smart, very spiritual guy, a natural leader. In our class, we were in a study/presentation group together and I found that he was a great organizer of people and ideas, but never pushed his way around. Just like the article, he would present ideas which would result in the rest of us coming to the conclusion he thought would serve us best. He was usually right.<br /><br />From BYU, he went on to become a Rhodes scholar, and then completed his graduate education at Harvard Business School. Ultimately, he was recruited to teach there, I think by Kim Clark then Dean of HBS and now president of BYU-I, Clayton was serving as an area Seventy a few years ago, but I think he's been released from that by now. Mom and I saw/visited with him in Korea a few years back when we were all there for the 50 year anniversary celebration of the Church in Korea. Anyway, small world.<br />DadDavid and Debbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18397313447137818213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1113767935196076705.post-34546803914940060832010-08-07T11:57:52.164-06:002010-08-07T11:57:52.164-06:00abby, this looks like a great article, but the lin...abby, this looks like a great article, but the link wouldn't work for me. xo momDavid and Debbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18397313447137818213noreply@blogger.com
