Chapter Chapter 4 in INSEAD, 2000, pp 83-106 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract When Olivier Giscard d’Estaing had first mentioned his intention to move back into industry, the choice of a suitable successor had preoccupied Doriot considerably. Writing to Claude Janssen in August 1965, he remarked: “This problem of Insead is of very great importance, and if a good job is not done on it, you and I will regret it for many years to come. Insead is still so young that a poor selection might mean mediocrity or failure of the school.”1 The following month Doriot reiterated his point: “I am worried about Insead. This is an important turning point. The school is still quite young and needs very very good leadership.”2 It evoked the concern of a parent for a delicate child and underlined the frailty of the school at this juncture.
