What You Didn’t Learn In Business School

Many people have gone through some sort of business schooling before entering the workforce or even starting their own company. This schooling gives them great information and lessons in financial matters, obtaining customers, marketing, branding and more. But what this schooling often does not teach you is how to handle many challenges and problems that can arise in business, as stated on Score.com.
Surprisingly most people don’t realize that many problems in business have new ideas hidden in them somewhere, and solving the problem tends to ultimately bring out these new ideas.
Once you solve a problem in business, it is Murphys law that many more tend to pop up, and how you as a company and management solve these problems is actually the biggest challenge of all that you will face in business.
Noticing a problem and finding a way to solve it is an opportunity for the business to grow in other areas and to increase productivity and sales.
What can you add to things that they don’t teach you in business school?

Listening to people’s concerns, this is a golden rule. It’s something even the biggest businesses have apparently hard time figuring out – when I complain it’s not because I want to be mean, I just want something to change. There is a solution presented to every complaint which can then be viewed as constructive criticism

I could write a list a million miles long! But…the one thing I keep going back to is not just WHAT you do but HOW you do it. Honesty, integrity, loyalty. I find that my best business relationships with retailers and vendors are all based on an old school mentality. If you are good to someone, they will be good to you. And if they aren’t, go find someone else.
