| August 6, 2008 |  View for printing |
When the dean of Northwestern University’s Kellogg School of Management approached Lloyd Shefsky to teach entrepreneurship, he was not keen on the idea.
The Chicago lawyer – who started a firm that specialised in counselling entrepreneurs – already had a booming business to look after and his work frequently took him out of the city.
“I told him, ‘What are the odds of me being in town for 10 consecutive Monday mornings?’” Prof Shefsky recalls. “But the dean was persistent. He said: ‘What if we made the class at night and what if it went for five weeks instead of 10?’ Finally, I said I’d try it. And I was hooked.”
