'show them a bit about the job'
That has to be a joke and as for MBAs......another joke! British industry is full of bright young things with degrees and little else!Chiefs who know a little about the job and consequently make a mess of things.......what you need in most management jobs is knowledge, experience, integrity, honesty, good communications (including listening), discipline, delegation skills, ability to empathise, ability to use strengths and develop weaknesses, willingness to admit errors and set a sound example....amongst other things!
