can't manage themselves out of a paper bag On the heels of our talent myth discussion comes this USA Today article about the worthlessness of an MBA. I worked with a lot of MBAs during my time in Corporate America. Some of them were bright and competent, but quite a few of them (with degrees from top ten schools!) were neither. But while my observations easily convinced me there was zero (if not negative) correlation between has-a-MBA and is-a-good-person-to-have-on-the-team, few others drew this heterodox conclusion. It's refreshing to see it gaining wider acceptance.
