Business schools (and MBA programs) were an interesting experiment: can you abstract away the most important parts of a business away from what that business actually produces? Empirically, the answer appears to be no. It's understandable that such an experiment would take place. But now that we have an answer, we should stop pretending that the value produced by business schools is sufficient to justify their existence.

- projectileboy 10y agoThat's a really good point. Would suggest the most important quality for success is leadership, and that it can't be taught.
- dilemma 10y agoIt's possible that leadership cannot be taught, but it can be observed and learnt.
