‘Before I get shot by every professor or MBA graduate let me set the record straight. I am a very big believer in education and especially higher education. I think that the knowledge gained on an MBA is useful. I do wish that more professors were forced to work in companies to gain real world experience that they could pass on to their students. I do find it strange that the most valuable skill for any employee in any company isn’t emphasized AT ALL in my experience: sales.
Sales is the lifeblood of every organization. It’s how we move products. It pays for all of our great engineers. It fuels our bonus payments, our quarterly earnings, our growth rate, our value at acquisition time. ‘
