Ambitious Goal Dept: Far from alienating students, Mr. Satchu’s methods have made him one of the most popular lecturers at the University of Toronto. Many students say his course, the economics of entrepreneurship, is the most useful one they’ve ever taken, according to Globe And Mail. Mr. Satchu now has a far more ambitious goal. He wants to transform Canada’s competitive culture. He wants to find the best and brightest kids in this country and turn them into great entrepreneurs. He’s the driving force behind The Next 36, a remarkable project that aims to recruit 36 students each year from across Canada and give them a crash course in leadership and he also doesn’t spare Shire Brandi, a law student who’s ashamed of his background as a fatherless refugee who grew up in public housing. “Stop seeing your background as a limitation.” “I don’t focus on the weakest performers,” he once said. “I focus on the best performers and make them even better. When you get into the real world, you don’t have people babying you along.” As
reported in the news.
@t globe and mail, remarkable project
