THE WEATHER EXCUSE

Babu George holds a PhD and is a Professor of Management. A scholar-practitioner whose career spans more than two decades and four continents, he has built and turned around academic programs and published over three hundred peer-reviewed works, alongside more than ten books with reputed publishers. His teaching and research center on strategic management, entrepreneurship, organizational change, and the question that animates this book, how leaders and firms shape the conditions they are so often told to merely accept. He has launched first-of-their-kind programs, forged partnerships with major companies, and supervised doctoral candidates across three continents, work that has repeatedly required treating a supposedly fixed environment as something to be built rather than endured.
