What they dont teach in BSchool? Part 1

Anybody who wants to be successful in her/his career would definitely consider an MBA as an option to reach her/his goals. But what’s surprising is that there are certain skills that are not taught in B Schools that turn out to be simple but make a big difference. These aspects may sound simple, but yes these are the aspects that I have more often than not seen being taught.

1. 1.Ambiguity: Today’s business world is full of uncertainties, so a manager has to make a living among these varying levels of ambiguities that exist in every aspect of our work & environment. Most managers lack the ability to handle ambiguity, this results in lack of focus & poor performance leading to stress. The corner stone of success for a Manager is to handle ambiguity & take their decisions based on partial information plus intuition - they need to know that they may go wrong – but should be willing to take a calculated risk & make course corrections based on results or additional information as & when its available.
