Part 3/6:
The traditional belief that an MBA is essential for corporate leadership is increasingly being challenged. Top-tier MBA programs, such as those at Wharton and Harvard, can set students back by more than $200,000. CEOs like Elon Musk have even publicly criticized the proliferation of MBAs in leadership, suggesting that their focus on boardroom politics detracts from product innovation. Musk believes that a strong product is at the core of a successful business and that engineers, with their skills in design and problem-solving, are better equipped to create those products.
