Golden Oldies: 3 About Jobs
by Miki Saxon
Poking through 12+ years of posts I find information that’s as useful now as when it was written.
Golden Oldies is a collection of the most relevant and timeless posts during that time.
I was looking for a particular post that tied to one I’m writing for tomorrow, but couldn’t find it. However, I did find three I think worth sharing, because they also apply, albeit indirectly I hope you enjoy them..

A look at education, especially MBAs.
From a Harvard-educated CEO.
Excellent article. Very true. It took me years to unlearn what I’d been taught at business school…
From a post about why companies need managers and how to build them.
Good managers aren’t born; they are developed through a learned set of skills combined with the right attitude and culture.
The importance of accurate org charts.
Historically, companies’ reluctance to publish simple, accurate, current org charts has been anchored in a fear that “they”—whether headhunters or competitors—would steal their best and brightest. But when corporate (or managerial) paranoia leads to withholding information making the job more difficult, there’s no need to worry about people being recruited because they’ll be out actively looking!
