Limitless: Hear from Lynette Tan
I found that many of the women in my Tsinghua-INSEAD Executive MBA (TIEMBA) class had experience in leadership. We have experience in going after our visions and dreams, but felt that our knowledge perhaps was a little patchy and could benefit from a structured way of understanding the business world. That’s why I joined the programme, and many of the women I met during the TIEMBA enrolled for similar reasons.
