The Compelling Evidence
Consider the following:
1. From a recent article in Fortune Magazine, “The Trouble with MBAs”: “When Jack Welch gave a guest lecture at MIT’s Sloan School of Management in 2005, someone in the crowd asked, ‘What should we be learning in business school?’ Welch’s reply: ‘Just concentrate on networking. Everything else you need to know, you can learn on the job.’” Like him or hate him: when Jack talks, big business listens.
2. Time Magazine’s “2006 Person of the Year: You” is an acknowledgement to the internet as a populist movement and the power that we, as individuals, now wield over the worlds of politics, entertainment, etc.
