Just imagine...

I received some info in my e-mail today about the importance of having leaders with a good education. It wasn't really well written so I rephrased it a bit to better illustrate the point. So, just imagine...

You are the board chair of a major international company that has many specialties- security, contract negotiations, finance, and law. Despite a really solid reputable past your business has really suffered in the bad economy and due to some public relations fiascos fallen out of favor of former clients. Profits are down, costs are sky rocketing and your competition is at an all time high. Even worse, you are looking for a new CEO and their being an intelligent, well respected, go getter is critical or your business is done.
You have two candidates to choose from both of which want to bring one person with them to get the business back in line. Let's look at the educational background of your two options:
