Today I saw an inquiry from an fresh MBA graduate how to
get a management job in a social networking site LinkedIn.
No wonder Professor Henry Mintzberg claimed that MBA
degree programs are educating wrong folks, misleading them
breeding wrong expectations in his "Managers not MBAs".
I am a MBA participant (by distance learning) myself. Even
though I have 11 years of professional experience - 5 years
leading people, supervising international teams and managing
projects - I considered myself a light weight. Although I think
I am ready for an entry level manager role, I dont think I am
ready for a general management role yet. Education is not
a substitute for experience.
No wonder there are MBA haters, they are not wrong at all!
