those useless management schools

our current society is unnaturally growing managers. management schools. while understandable that a person who took time to specialize in an area could use, later in his career, in order to polish his leader skills, management training courses, before actually jumping into the pool of managing other’s people work (that work that he himself is performing at an outstanding level), i can’t fit in the management universities. they take teenagers out of the high-school, who know nothing about any job and teaches them to become managers of other people’s work. utterly bullshit.

in one of the previous companies i worked, ‘it shows good on the cv’ was regarded as a good-enough reason to attend courses. managers would recommend useless training sessions with this line.

they are just a waste of time and a reason for our training department to exist  (a team of youngsters that learned at school how to teach others to communicate, in this case; bullshit again).

woke up this sunday morning with my coffee and fortune magazine. they have these running articles about the fortuned ones. there is the 40 under 40 article. 40 people that made it and are under 40 years of age. they are people that built something useful. skilled in a particular area and put it at use (and is not management).

possibly influenced by the current economic downturn as well, as i tend to blame the overpaid, under-qualified leaders that reached those positions by attending an mba.
