I hold an MBA from London Business School and there’s no doubt it’s a valuable degree to have under one’s belt. I guess to some extent I have to say that; how else would I justify the exorbitant tuition fees?
Still, I learned a lot during that year. Much of it applicable in the real world, which isn’t always the case when it comes to tertiary education.
That being said, there’s one skill they don’t teach you in business school. It’s something I believe to be more important than smart business acumen, exceptional marketing know-how, or even financial savviness.
Make no mistake—these abilities are of critical importance. Without them in your arsenal, your company will flounder, and possibly even fail. They’re just not, in my opinion, the most important skills you need to run a business successfully.
