Introduction
67% of businesspeople believe that school did not appropriately train them for the workplace. Only 27% say that college taught them what they needed to enter the world of commerce.
I read a lot of business books. Most either focus on broad strategy, or a very niche topic for certain industries. I've found few (if any) that provide a meaningful practical overview of what work life is or could be.
I go to a lot of meetings. I find a lot of young workers who have no clue how to navigate a meeting, or how to turn that hour on Zoom into an action that drives results.
I find the same with a smaller, but quite significant, percentage of Chief Executives.
Even top business schools don't cover the block and tackle at a level that can make a worker confident on their first day.
