Leadership Through Mentorship
“Professor Kahneman’s fascination with human behavior was not relegated to the theoretical. He was convinced that much good could be done in the policy and practice spheres when his insights on human judgement and decision-making were applied to important real-world issues. Our students today are still benefiting from a course in psychology for policy that he helped design – it is a testament to his continued impact. He was a trailblazer, a genius and a wonderful colleague. We owe him lasting gratitude.”
