We can teach people to paint the Mona Lisa by numbers, but it won&#8217;t be art the second time around.

I wanted to tell them that the whole reason to start a company is to be yourself, not to imitate someone else, especially not me. Their program won\u2019t help with that.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height: 14.25pt;background: white\"><span>The world would be a much better place if all the folks in an executive MBA program would master a creative skill instead. Why isn\u2019t there an executive master\u2019s program in computer science, design or materials science?\u00a0I\u2019d enroll today. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height: 14.25pt;background: white\"><span>We need to educate people who have already begun a career because too many miss their chance in college. The number of students studying business has steadily increased over the past decade,<span> <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.theamericanscholar.org\/the-decline-of-the-english-department\/\">to more than one in five undergraduates<\/a>, at the expense of the creative arts and sciences. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height: 14.25pt;background: white\"><span>For life after college, a whole new genre has emerged of self-help for entrepreneurs. By Amazon\u2019s count, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/search\/ref=sr_adv_b\/?search-alias=stripbooks&amp;unfiltered=1&amp;field-keywords=entrepreneurship&amp;field-author=&amp;field-title=&amp;field-isbn=&amp;field-publisher=&amp;node=&amp;url=&amp;field-feature_browse-bin=&amp;field-binding_browse-bin=&amp;field-subject=&amp;field-l\">more than 12,000 books on entrepreneurship have been published in the past decade<\/a>, at a rate of three per day, every day.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height: 14.25pt;background: white\"><span>Many of those books and programs are inspiring and useful; I have organized a few, contributed to some, and benefited from more. But if I had to say what needs more emphasis, it would be the product, not the process.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height: 14.25pt;background: white\"><span>Outside of Paul Graham and Eric Ries, many entro-pundits have little interest in actual products. The worst purveyor of gimmicks is Malcolm Gladwell, who argued in last week&#8217;s New Yorker that<span> <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.newyorker.com\/reporting\/2010\/01\/18\/100118fa_fact_gladwell\">entrepreneurs are predators<\/a><span> <\/span>who succeed because of their business acumen at driving hard bargains. Gladwell based this theory on two unlikely boots-trappers: a silver-spooner who inherited a massive media empire and a Wall Street trader who bet more than $100 million that the housing bubble would burst.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height: 14.25pt;background: white\"><span>Both of Gladwell&#8217;s role models are very good business people, but that doesn\u2019t make them entrepreneurs \u2013 even if one of them, Ted Turner, later developed into one &#8212; creating a news network he loved so much that he compared its eventual acquisition to female circumcision. But Turner started his business career the old-fashioned way: getting the better of somebody on a deal. It\u2019s a zero-sum game that doesn&#8217;t create anything or delight anyone. And creating something is what entrepreneurs do that the MBAs sometimes don\u2019t always seem to get. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height: 14.25pt;background: white\"><span>This isn&#8217;t to say that entrepreneurs are better than MBAs. In fact, the problem I have these days is that what makes you successful as an entrepreneur may limit you later on as a business person, a topic we\u2019ll have to take up next week. In the meantime, if you know of any good executive masters programs in computer science, or any boot-camps with that emphasis, leave a comment and let us know.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Two executive MBA students just came by the house to interview me for a class on entrepreneurship.
