- Synopsis
- "What I Didn't Learn in Business School" is a fictional account that follows new consultant Justin Campbell as he joins an elite team hired by a chemical firm to assess the potential of a newly developed technology. In this chapter, Justin steps back to take stock of his individual contributions so far and his team's progress. As he reflects on the difficulties of being a new consultant, his role within the team comes into focus, and he begins to develop a clearer sense of both the value he brings to the work of strategy development, and where he stands relative to his boss's expectations. Authors Jay Barney and Trish Gorman Clifford present an invaluable opportunity to learn from Justin's mistakes and growth as he develops real-world strategies for assessing his value to the team, leveraging his team members' skills more effectively, and managing his boss. This chapter was originally published as Chapter 11 of "What I Didn't Learn in Business School: How Strategy Works in the Real World."
