graduates of Team Academy continue as entrepreneurs upon

3. What’s the Magic in LE?
“I think the most important thing for me was to be to just see, feel and be at the
place where it's all happening. Talk to teamsters. See how they work. See how the
process goes. That for me was the eye opener.”
- Patrick Bijman, the founder of TA Netherlands
“If you want to see the future of management education you should go to see
Team Academy.”
- Peter Senge, MIT and SoL
“For me, it was really a push to start action
in Team Academy Euskadi. We had a chance to
do intensive thinking together with our team to
get the action going.”
- Nieves Peña, one of the founders and
a coach of Team Academy en Euskadi
