Barrett mistakenly predicted in 2014 that we are up for an economic collapse which - up to this date in late 2018 - has not happened. In fact the economy has grown much higher since his false prediction. This is a major problem and the core difference between what the scholars think - at a theoretical level - should be what leaders do, versus what the actually do. And it is quite interesting to note that none of the Harvard Business School professors and theoretician are achieved leaders in the world ... boiling it down to the famous term "those who can't do ... teach".
What's really pathetic about those who use the rallying cry that you've used is that is demeans those that can teach... those teachers that inspire their students to dive in deeper, to find the answers to those questions they didn't realize would burn... Regarding these professors not being "achieved leaders in the world" - seriously? How many world leaders do you remember from your life? Go on - ask yourself how many world leaders you remember, and then ask yourself why you remember them. They were either directly connected to you in some way - such as being your country's leader - or they did something extremely beneficent OR extremely malicious or vile or questionable. These extremes are what's remembered more often than not. Now, think about your teachers in school - I bet you can remember most of them... and especially the ones that inspired you. Funny how memory is, isn't it? So, get off your high horse about how these accomplished scholars aren't "achieved leaders" yet study something that you obviously have limited understanding in, and reduce their efforts to an overused, demeaning, and ignorant platitude.
Where's the rest of the talk? It was great, and then it stopped.
