karl_mooreIt is great to be interviewed. Benefits come from the external exposure if you have properly communicated your message. There also benefits from being the interviewer.

McGill University Professor Karl Moore can attest to this. He conducts a CEO Interview Series in which he interviews a CEO or throughout leader.

The interview is disseminated across various external communications channels. But more importantly, these interviews are leveraged across the institution. Professor Moore has integrated the interviews into the classroom and alumni events. The interviews help Professor Moore in his research. And then the relationships that develop lead the CEO to ask Professor Moore about recruiting some of his students.

Professor Moore shares this experience and offers some best practice to other academics wishing to do the same on the latest episode of the FIR on Higher Education podcast. Have a listen!
