The School of P. Diddy

I read recently that P. Diddy has plans to open a business school in Harlem, NY, where he would embark on "building leaders" as he mentioned in a CNN interview. I'm not sure if he needs a whole school or academy, but I would find it interesting if different business moguls and leaders taught specialized courses or seminars at colleges and universities to help students explore some unconventional methods of achieving success, skill application and other real life business case studies.

In my experiences my most meaningful learning came from a mix of literature and from people who have been in the trenches, having worked in my field of study and who were able to apply all the lessons they learned from the textbook.

So, go for it Diddy! I am sure you'd teach an interesting course.
