What’s the most important thing to learn if you want to advance your career?
Should you gain diverse experience? Specialize? Go back to school for an advanced degree? Attend workshops? Get a coach?
While all of these career decisions may undoubtedly prove beneficial, book smarts don’t guarantee good teachers, nurses, doctors, businesspeople or leaders.
In today’s emerging right-brain economy, most professions require a set of skills and characteristics that cannot be taught in schools. Professionals who have the edge — those singled out for high-potential programs — are skilled at forging meaningful relationships.
The adage “No one cares how much you know until they know how much you care” has never been more relevant.
While a good education is important, it’s no longer enough. Unfortunately, most business schools aren’t teaching the emotional competencies future leaders require. Perhaps these skills are far beyond a classroom’s reach.
