Professor Muhammad Yunus talked with Alison Beard which has published in Harvard Business Review December 2012 under the title “Life's Work”. He talked about himself and his journey with the Grameen Bank. In his interview he said that “I look just at one plot, not the whole plantation. I do the plot and it works, so I do the next plot the same way. You start with 100 people and then move to the next 100 people... you're adding up to a bigger scale at a gradual speed. Then you have to monitor and start linking the structure and so on. But you're not designing at the outset for a million people, starting with a mega structure. You're moving step by step." He also talked about Grameen ventures around the world. While answering the question on why is getting out into the field so important as Grameen Bank started out as a field research project, he said that “when I was doing my PhD and then teaching, I developed a bird’s-eye view. I could see a very wide spectrum of things, almost the whole world. But I was seeing only the outline of things and filling them in, like a child coloring in a box, by making up stories about how people behave. Then, working in the village, door-to-door, person-to-person, I got a worm’s-eye view.”  Full interview>>
