There is an association between the quality of the business student and the quality of a quality business hire. While we often think in terms of grades one should move beyond such limited understanding to include such things as creativity, communication, leadership, systems thinking, personality, ethical values, time management and persistence in fulfilling responsibilities.
There are few to no excuses for not doing your work (i.e. homework) in business. Businesses want deliverables every time and on time; variations need justification.
Creativity: The new need for uniqueness in a technological transforming society shifting into the Digital Age.
Communication: The ability to use different forms of communication to share ideas and draw resources.
Leadership: The ability to chart one's own course and lead from genuinely from within without overly high external validation.
Systems Thinking: The ability to look at a larger system and find ways to improve on those systems.
Personality: The type of personality that helps one get along with others (EQ).
Ethical Values: The ability to differentiate between right and wrong and protect a brand.
Time Management: The ability to manage one's time and work independently by getting projects done.
Persistence: The ability to show up every day, get focused on one's work, and stay at it until the job's done.
