Mercedes Formula 1 boss Toto Wolff has been appointed as an Executive Fellow at the Harvard Business School.
Wolff will serve as a guest lecturer alongside Professor Anita Elberse, where he will share insights on leadership, organisational culture, and personal effectiveness.
Elberse presented a Harvard Business School case study entitled ‘Toto Wolff and the Mercedes Formula One team’ after shadowing the team behind-the-scenes through 2021.
Wolff and Elberse will collaborate to deliver a short course for first- and second-year MBA students in January 2024 entitled ‘Mercedes F1: Leading a High-Performance Team’.
“I feel very honoured and privileged to continue working with the incredibly bright young minds at Harvard”, said Wolff.
“Whenever I step on campus, I am inspired by the students’ curiosity and ambition, and I leave energised by the special learning environment they create together with the brilliant faculty.”
“We very much look forward to welcoming Toto back to campus,” said Elberse. “I have seen first-hand how much our students benefit from learning about Toto’s leadership journey and from his deep knowledge of what it takes to run a highly successful sports team. “With Toto on board, I am confident that we can make a profound positive difference in the development of the leaders of tomorrow.”
