What inspires Prof. Dr Danica Purg? (from the interview “Financial times”)
“I am inspired by art. Bringing the arts and business together has long been a passion of mine. I feel art is essential to have rich experiences, and a life full of meaning. The integration of art and art experience in education has been a focus of our school from its beginnings. The inspiration for this approach to leadership development is a deep-rooted belief that art helps us. As the celebrated professor Edgar Schein said: “Art is helping us to see more, hear more, and to feel more.”
