Why to get more education?
|
First… Why should you care? Over and over, we have heard from our parents or at school the same story. Study hard. Get a good degree. With the good degree, a good job. Then, work hard. That’s the perfect receipt to be permanently frustrated about how little money you make, and how much money others make. No matter if you are an operator or a CEO. The money that you make out of selling your time never tastes fulfilling. If you care about that, you should continue your education until you die. Not more degrees necessarily. But just more experience. You need to expose yourself to new things. You need to learn new things. And why? Just to have more options. Knowing every day more and more about less and less is also following the path of slavery. You limit the companies you can work for. You limit the positions you can work on. And if you didn’t take care of your finances… You limit enormously the offers that you can accept for that job in that company.

A client once asked me: What does good governance actually look like? I did not take long to draft a response. It’s something asked many times… Especially, when things start to get wrong. Well, it starts with experienced people. Period. And… People who bring different perspectives. People capable of overseeing an executive team without trying to become the executive team. Look. Governance is not day-to-day management. It is challenge. Support. Direction. And intervention when required....
Those who know me well know that I’m not a football fan. Or soccer. Whatever you prefer. But I watched the last ten minutes of Spain’s match—my only ten minutes of the World Cup… yes, I know—and I was amazed. And happy, by the way. Beating Argentina is always fun. Especially after their famous “Devolvé la copa” a few years ago… But that’s not the point. The point is that, within five minutes, the internet was full of memes. Messi crying like a baby. Lamine Yamal—or Yamil, Yamile… you know I’m...
As I was involved… I still look at it very closely. A multibillion-dollar bridge ready. Roads built. Border facilities prepared. And traffic still waiting. The opening of the Gordie Howe International Bridge between Canada and the United States had to be postponed while both governments resolved a series of outstanding issues. Not construction issues.
