Harvard Business provides additional useful insights on these post-graduation competencies in 5 Core Competencies for the 21st Century.

Hi Jim,
I like viewing your blog. It’s really informative. I ought to make more time to view it. Reading this post is great, it brings fresh look at management. I am going to forward this to other managers so they can read it. Will it affect anything?? That still remains a big question. I will miss having you as a professor, it was a great experience and an honor.
