disgrace. Michael Dell, the revolutionary high-tech entrepreneur, is sanctioned for

An age limit on leadership?
When he died this week, Robert Byrd, who was a frail 92, had represented West
Virginia in the Senate for more than 50 years. Is it generally a good idea for top
leaders in any sector to serve that long, or that late in life? Given the common
instinct to hang on, should limits be imposed?

Government spending: How to pick your battle?
The overwhelming consensus among economists is that the economy needs
another shot of short-term stimulus spending. But as the president and
congressional leaders have discovered in trying to pass a new stimulus bill, voters
want to start bringing the deficit down now. Is this one of those leadership

techniques aimed at reducing costs, improving quality and reengineering higher
education? What leadership steps would you recommend for them?

Too smart to lead?
Elena Kagan's nomination has raised the prospect of an "all-Ivy" Supreme Court. Is
it a good idea for any institution, or any sector of society, to rely so heavily on a
handful of elite universities to education and train its leaders?

What qualifies a leader?
In appointing a new Supreme Court Justice to replace John Paul Stevens,
President Obama was seeking someone who could provide intellectual and
personal leadership of the liberal block. His gamble in nominating Elena Kagan is
bringing in someone from outside the 'priesthood' of appeals-court judges. What
are the advantages and disadvantages of selecting a leader with non-traditional
qualifications?
