Publisher's Synopsis
With an overabundance of MBA courses and a radical restructuring of the business world, experience will be a key determining factor in the success of managers. Based on experience and keen observations of American business, James Emshoff has identified the four key experiences that managers must place themselves in a position to have, appreciate from the broadest perspective and become enriched by, in order to provide real value to their company - and advance their careers. These four experiences are: that they must have direct experience with customers; they must have experience managing people, learning to integrate business functions in flatter, less hierarchical organizations; they must have leadership experience of the entrepreneurial, as well as administrative kind; they must experience risk-taking.
