Consistently Poor Performers: CEO wannabes
TED had a great talk about how kindergarden students consistently beat some working adults at collaborative problem solving.
At some point of time, the speaker, one Tom Wujec, makes the point that regularly poor performers are fresh business school grads. I would say its not that all fresh business school grads are poor performers, it’s that the majority of business school grads have been stewed in an environment that teaches students to tear down other people while building yourself up. In other words, the importance of being ‘right’ and being in power. In short, CEO wannabes.
As much as I am guilty of being a righteous prick at times, I often blame the environment, rather than the person. We are all merely genetic machines with abnormally large frontal lobes. And besides, there is always a job for CEO wannabes.
