Harvard Business School Bulletin
Managing the Business of Life

 

With the 15th Reunion for the Class of 1984 just around the corner, the Bulletin revisits five members of the class we've been keeping tabs on over the years to learn how they're balancing family and professional responsibilities.

We first interviewed Monica Dodi, Margaret Glover, Karla (Rose) Middlebrooks, Gwen Shuster-Haynes, and John Weber in June 1983, while they were still MBA students. Checking in with them five years later, in June 1988, we discovered many ways in which their lives - and their perspectives on work and family - had evolved during that time.

Now, ten years after the last interview, we catch up with the group for another update. Not surprisingly, much has changed over the past decade in their households and in their careers. In the profiles that follow, our protagonists once again candidly discuss how they are managing the business of life.
