Letters to a Young Manager


MBA Graduate's Disease, #160
LTYM >

Please note that this letter is in-process; the following are my notes

***
Draw on the wisdom of Helmut Theilicke's, To a Young Theologian, where he points out the tendency of the new academically informed pastor to impart his wisdom on the parish of common believers.

Note Rabbi Greens comments about how at the end of his 5-year tenure he realized how little he knew.

Note Dave Curtis's Harvard MBA introduction at DBC.

Also note Mark Twain's quote: "When I was a boy of 14, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be 21, I was astonished at how much the old man had learned in seven years." -- http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Mark_Twain
