What does it take to....

So i blog again...
this time albeit in an irregular manner. But i do return to this part of the cyberspace from time to time to give vent to pent up thoughts and feelings.
One of them is a very pertinent one for me and I guess would be for some 1.2 lakh people of this country, pursuing an MBA degree at various institutes across the nation.
What does it take to make an MBA ? Although the answer to this question would be more detailed when I pass out of IMT, but i guess now is the time to start answering it, bit by bit, part by part.

According to me, MBA is all about confidence. Its only when u have confidence on your self and your abilities that u can multitask, multioperate, coordinate, accomplish etc etc.
What is it that is wanted from an MBA grad ? Is it theoretical knowledge ? (NO) Is it comparitive advantage ?(No) Is it expertise in one particular field (Not exactly)?

What I believe is wanted is the confidence to be at the helm of affairs, even if the answer to all the above 3 questions is No. It is this confidence that rubs off on the team ur leading which eventually shows in the performance. I believe, management cannot be taught. Its a very basic activity, done right from the time man was a beastly being, electing a leader to lead the pack. The leader had to decide how much meat woud be consumed by the pack, when & where to hunt, where to set up camp and how to defend the pack from invaders or wild animals.
Confidence, as a virtue, existed since man came into being and hence it is the only trait that helps one to lead, defend, argue, win, admit defeat and so on...

What will be interesting to see is my progress, from a soft spoken, mild mannered, joke cracking guy to the supremely confident, cool calm manager...after 2 years.

Keep watching this space...would update it as time flies by..
