About the Speaker:
Sandra J. Sucher, senior lecturer, joined the Technology and Operations Management Unit faculty of Harvard Business School after 25 years in industry and nonprofit management. Presently, she teaches "The Moral Leader" and "Leadership and Corporate Accountability" in the MBA curriculum. She also has taught "Technology and Operations Management" and related courses in various Executive Education programs. Her current research focuses on moral leadership, learning through literature, and the relationship between ethics and innovation. In 2007, Professor Sucher published two books on The Moral Leader course: Teaching The Moral Leader: A Literature-Based Leadership Course, and The Moral Leader: Challenges, Tools, and Insights.
From 1986 until 1998, Sucher worked at Fidelity Investments. As Vice President of Corporate Quality, she focused the firm's division-level quality groups on customer loyalty research. As Vice President of Retail Service Quality, she set service strategy for the retail business and improved service and operations processes, introducing process management as a framework for cross-functional improvement. Prior to Fidelity, Sucher spent 10 years in fashion retailing at Filene's, a Boston-based department store chain. She wrote the proposal, approved by Federated Department Stores, to expand Filene's Basement from a single store to a national chain.
Sucher received her MBA from Harvard Business School in 1976 with first- and second-year honors; she also earned a Masters of Arts in Teaching from the Harvard Graduate School of Education and a BA from the University of Michigan. Sucher is a member of Phi Beta Kappa.
