As someone who did an MBA twenty years ago, I think this is a really important point
The value for me wasn’t the reading, it’s the discussion the exploration of different (sometime opposed) viewpoints and understanding the differences between them
Talking to friends who’ve done other Masters degrees one of the key things we all agree on is they taught us how to “think better” and not sure you’ll get that from reading a bunch of books
- ghaff 3y agoI think if I really wanted to put together a DIY MBA, I'd try to gather some friends who would be open for semi-regular discussions, put some lightweight projects together, and some reading/watching that was also relatively short and lightweight. My goal would be to distill things down to something busy, working people with lives might actually be willing to do absent the spur of getting a diploma.
