Bill Winters, the CEO of Standard Chartered and Wharton MBA alumnus, believes his MBA was a waste of time compared to the critical thinking skills learned from studying humanities. In a recent interview, he emphasized the importance of mental agility and effective communication, especially with AI taking over many technical roles. Winters stated, "I'm going to go back to curiosity and empathy," suggesting leaders need to understand their audience's nuances and anticipate needs in today's rapidly changing professional landscape.
"I learned how to think at university, and for the 40 years since I left university, those skills have been degraded, degraded, degraded. They're coming back now."
"With the rise of AI, learning how to think and communicate effectively matters more in the workplace. The technical skills are being provided by the machine."
