I got a masters degree in finance, I took numerous pricing courses, but still our company wasn't thriving. Finally, it dawned on me - he was wrong. He and the CFO had the analytical side of the house covered. I needed to be more innovative, more creative, more passionate, more zany. <BR/><BR/>I convinced him of this. I threw out my Wall Street Journal and never looked back.<BR/><BR/>Now, I do get on their nerves more often but I am much happier and the company is doing much better. <BR/><BR/>I guess I'd add to your post that you not only need to understand what you are good at, but what your team mates are good at (and not good at) as well and have an appreciation for skill sets different from yours.The New MBAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01727618317829354745noreply@blogger.com
