David i do not consider myself a journalist, and nobody else would consider myself a journalist. I began to take on the life of being an interviewer, even though i have a day job of running a private equity firm. How do you define leadership . What is it that makes somebody tick . You graduated from Harvard Law School in 1976. And like many people in that generation, my generation, you went to practice law at a large firm in new york. Why did you leave after two years . Did you not like to practice law . Kenneth i enjoyed the practice of law. I did not have any grand scheme that i would go into business. But i have always been someone who really was energized by new opportunities and challenges. And i am very intellectually curious. I was contacted by baine and company. When i went up to interview, i was just really impressed with the dynamism, the intelligence, the types of activities they were involved in. I really felt they could be an incredible learning experience for me. David yo
