In the time that’s passed since I completed my MBA, I’ve been asked two questions quite frequently:
1) Was it worth it?
2) What’s the number one thing you learnt?
The first question is easy; absolutely. The connections, discussions, and critical thinking you get from undertaking an MBA in the world’s top 15 makes the result well worth the investment.
The second question is harder to answer, because as many people will know from undertaking any sort of formal education, it’s very rarely “one thing” you take away that changes everything. That’s why I’ve decided to answer that question by putting together my top ten things I learnt from my MBA.
