Please keep your degree at home

In my all years as manager, I was never impressed by degrees and certificates as much as I was impressed by talents. The best managers are not MBA graduates, the best managers are people with vision, skills, attitude and free mind that is able to manage without being restricted by theories.

I am not down playing the importance of formal and quality education, but in all the job interviews I made, I never asked any candidate to show me his/her degree, all I would demand that he or she show me what they claim they can do.

As most of the readers may already know, the best CEOs around us have very less to show when it comes to formal education and top rated degrees.

As one famous CEO told graduating MBA students, “it’s too late”, he was referring to the extensive class room training that they received made their minds setup in a way that will be very hard to change.
