Sanders had fought the B-school mentality that she exemplified. After watching these graduates come and go, Sanders had finally concluded that there was a fundamental flaw in their education. They had been trained to believe that they were equipped to manage anything. But there was no such thing as general managerial skill and tools.
In the book "Disclosure" by Michael Crichton, the character Sanders criticizes the prevalent mentality found in business schools. After observing numerous graduates over the years, she believes there is a crucial defect in how they are educated, leading to a misguided confidence in their abilities. They are taught to think they possess universal managerial skills, but Sanders argues that such skills do not truly exist.
Her reflections highlight a gap between theoretical training and real-world challenges, suggesting that business education may overlook the complexities of management that require more than just applied knowledge. This critique serves as a reminder of the importance of practical experience and adaptability in effective leadership.
