MUST. CLICK. And all of my favorite article outlets know I will—Inc, Fast Company, HBR—they’re all in on it. Why? There are certainly a multitude of reasons why, but I’d like to think it’s about always striving to improve. Humans are competitive by nature and who’s a better opponent than you?

Just because you have an MBA doesn’t mean there aren’t nuggets of wisdom out there waiting for you. This is something I’ve been hearing a lot around the halls at HCI – in today’s business world it’s about constant learning, growth, change, adaptability. Gone are the days where you get an MBA, become an executive, and sit back and grind out the same work year after year. Today’s executives and high potentials gunning for a spot in the c-suite know that in order to be successful they are going to have to admit that there are things they don’t know. Luckily, online learning abounds! Access to information is quicker and cheaper than ever before, thanks to the digital world. Companies have the ability to invest in the brightest employees by sponsoring memberships to organizations with missions to educate, sending employees to job-specific or skill specific conferences and workshops, or allowing employees to take time out of the work day to attend a webcast. If you want to be on the path to success, take advantage of every opportunity to gain knowledge—because successful people never stop learning. http://www.hci.org/lib/nothing-succeeds-success
