Hunter Walk on MBAs

Hunter’s post does a great job explaining the subtle difference between “getting an MBA” and “being an MBA” that often leaves myself and the general public dropping 4 letter words when they meet people who “are MBAs.”

His post says it far better than I can but I’ve always thought about it in terms of humility, people, and intellectual curiosity: 

  • Be humble enough to know you don’t know everything
  • Take time to get to know people, not just their resumes
  • ABL - Always be learning

From my time at Google interacting with post-MBAs and my time at Wharton I’ve found those three things to be excellent measures for people I want to spend time with as well as those that are successful.

My 2 cents
