Summary: The fast-moving global fashion industry leaves little time for reflection, according to Ruth Sommers, executive vice president of Victoria's Secret Direct and a 2001 graduate of the MIT Sloan Fellows Program in Innovation and Global Leadership. In fashion, instinct can trump analysis, and cross-disciplinary teams demand leaders. For Sommers, a year as an MIT Sloan Fellow was a rare opportunity to pause and focus on growing as a leader and a person.
