Business is something that requires
knowledge and relevant skills for obvious reasons. So, what should be your next
step accordingly? Looking for a good business school and enrolling in a MBA
course and you think your job is done? Are you sure you are going to retain
each and every lesson you have learnt right from the beginning till the end of
the course? Are you confident you will be able to make use of each and every
business application to your existing job?
Well, you can bet because it’s not a
child’s play. What’s more important is to know the way to learn, and it’s such
a skill that would never leave you unemployed. Forget those days when your dad
preferred doing one or maximum two jobs through his entire lifetime. There were
no options, there were no such big employers who could ensure sky-high pay
packages, and there were no scope of making career changes as school-leavers do
today.
Learn
in the right manner & adopt the right strategies
As per the current scenario, over 30% of
the Fortune 500 companies keep disappearing on a yearly basis while almost 9
out of 10 organisations end up in losses by not even covering 5 years. So, the
majority of those unsuccessful ventures have been either due to the failure to
learn in the right manner or due to the failure to adapt strategies that should
have been taken in time.
You might have obtained quality education
from a world class school, you might have been fortunate to study under the
most learned men; but this does not mean that you should take a break from
learning. Rather, try to learn something that relates to a thriving industry
and not the one that might close doors. Of course, what your college or
university has taught you are valuable, but what’s crucial now is studying
something relevant that would always let you take the high road.
Now, let’s come to the 21st
century schools and find out whether they carry any negative undertone.
Lectures, books and blackboards are the three key sources of monotonousness
that make students inattentive in a classroom. Don’t get it wrong. What it
means that even if these sources make students attentive in classrooms, some
just don’t want to listen, and even if some listen, they fail to absorb information.
This is reality, accept it or not.
Be a
satisfied learner
One might prefer learning visually through
pictures or diagrams, while one might love participating in discussions, making
debates, listening to audiotapes or exchanging verbal instructions. To be
precise, it completely depends on you as what learning process you would prefer
to complete a course. At the end, you must be a satisfied learner and you can
then only acquire confidence to multiply your work experiences and become a knowledgeable
business professional.
As far as today’s organisations are
concerned, recruiting and thereafter retaining potential candidates are quite
challenging. In fact, a lot of companies are still searching for answers as how
can they inspire their valuable employees. How would they reward and retain
their employees, and most importantly, what would they do to ignite their
skills that can benefit the organisation?
Learning
is possible without attending a campus
Like the majority of multinationals take
initiatives to provide in-house training for their employees who gather all
those associated skills in the process, there are international business
schools that give individuals the opportunity to adopt such skills through top
up university programmes. Now, these programmes include assignments and
assessments completing which individuals top-up to their chosen university
qualification through distance learning. Moreover, no campus attendance is
required and those looking forward to fast track MBA find these programmes beneficial.
So, what we understood here is that one
doesn’t need to be in a state of monotony in order to learn something. In fact,
there are so many ways through which quality learning is possible. It’s
therefore advisable to first focus on what are you going to learn, why are you
going to learn and how are you going to learn. Once you have these answers,
learning will never seem a mammoth task.
