Business Collective wanted to know the most important thing I learned in business school. By far, it was the networking. The people you meet here can provide incredible opportunities down the road. I learned how to connect, how to work with others, and how to help people to promote karmic connection. It really is who you know that matters most!
Eight other business leaders provide a diverse set of tools and skills they learned, too. For example, the importance of strategic differentiation. Others say teamwork was the most critical aspect of school, while others say diverse experiences and background became a top priority (and has helped them strive for diversity in the workplace).
Looking for the best opportunity cost and making the most of communication also comes out on top. Finally, confidence in numbers (and yourself!), as well as the reminder that nothing makes up for experience that is learned—sometimes the hard way—in business school. If you’re looking into business school, think beyond the curriculum. A lot of the learning really does take place outside the classroom.
