So that is where the key lies - experience! It not only opens up yourself to new ideas but also makes you stand apart. As future managers, it is the diversity of knowledge that is going to help us. It is okay if we don’t know everything about something, but knowing something about almost everything is an advantage.
Your two years of MBA life would give ample opportunities to try and test out new things. You could start with club inductions, join drama or literary society, read and learn about a variety of things that is not just related to academics and most importantly, face your fears. If you are scared to speak in public, join a public speaking club, you may end up discovering a new side of yours or, at least learning something interesting. In this process, you would also make new friends, as you say in b-school - networking!
So, in typical MBA jargons, what’s in store apart from your experiences?
- Helps you take control of the Big 5 personality traits (conscientiousness, agreeableness, neuroticism, openness, and extraversion). Trust me, this is important!
- Your positioning will be just right. You can totally market yourself to all, let alone the recruiters.
- Your operational efficiency will increase. You will learn to manage academics and other activities by eliminating bottlenecks. The executive part of your brain would take charge, and the elephant will take a backseat.
- Personal strategy management - you will come across defining moments of your life and will get a step closer to understanding the vision and mission of your life. Moreover, you will learn the art of relationship management.
So how would you like your journey to be? Jack of all or master of one?
