What to do, when to do, how to do and why to do – these are the ONLY questions which a MANAGER needs to address. The credibility of an MBA degree most certainly cannot be questioned. But I often fall prey to pondering as to why one’s mother, one’s aunt, one’s grandmother and the like are extremely good managers without an MHA (Masters in Household Administration) degree?
What matters is not spending hours and hours solving case studies during a two year journey from a “non-manager” to a “manager” (as goes the popular opinion). What really counts is BEING PRESENT where the case was actually being given birth to be studied.
With an over-burdening of theory, if there is no provision to vent the same into the world of practice, the value of 31,536,000 seconds (2 years) is merely reduced to a redundant degree.
Does an automobile engineer start working on an automobile the day he is given his job letter? Why is training given to engineers (I call them “engineers” because they have the “degree”) after they are placed? It’s only because theory, books and concepts can never match the true essence of practice and experience...
