In The Personal MBA, Josh Kaufman makes a smart observation about the once revered graduate business degree. Many books summarize key concepts taught within the concept of highly structured MBA curricula. Without a major commitment of time and money, you can learn the basics of finance, accounting, marketing and management. Sound advice.
It’s an interesting argument. I will never regret the time I spent earning my own MBA, since classmates taught me as much, or more than the classwork. But there is no question in my mind that I can benefit from reading more of the classics in Josh’s list. He’s onto a concept that has come up in both the press and in higher education in general. The ability to adapt is often more important than the ability to apply a best practice. To have that ability, we need to read and experience outside our individual trades.
