> For what's it's worth nearly all the excellent executives I've met over the years didn't have an MBA and nearly all the worst ones did... I sort of draw a comparison between that and something I heard the director of a local accelerator say once: "We look for founders who are open to taking advice from mentors, but at the same time, don't take everything everyone says to them as gospel." I think there's something similar to an MBA program. The people who do best are the ones who are able to take what they've learned and run with it, rather than use exactly what was taught in school as playbook for every business.
