๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐ Recently, when we wanted to hire, this was the foremost topic of discussion. There's no doubt Management degree brings in knowledge. Experience brings in Practical Solutions on to the table. Since the experienced person will have walked through different situations, the person will be more practical in approach. Remember, itโs not about experience versus degree. It's about complementing theory with practical know-how to achieve the perfect equilibrium in your team. Let's not limit ourselves to binary choices. Let's strive for the richness of diversity in skills and experiences. Because in this complex business landscape, one size does not fit all. #hiring #jobs #careers #talent #hr #humanresources #people #culture #values #growth #business #strategy #hrstrategy #team #branding #leaders #leadership #linkedin #hiring #linkedinconnections #talentnexa #aach
Great post, Ahmad. I totally agree that it's not just about choosing between experience and degrees. I've noticed how important adaptability and a willingness to change ingrained limiting beliefs are as key factors for success.
Ahmad Al Cheikh Hassan, CIPD Thanks for sharing! Both education and experience can be a testament to relevant skills or misleading credentials. I would recommend clearly defining the critical skills for the role and assessing these in the hiring process, aka skills-based hiring.
Makes sense!

1moSpot on, Ahmad. Itโs a beautiful analogy of the yin and yang, the balance between theory and practice. A management degree can offer a solid theoretical foundation, but nothing beats hands-on experience in navigating the real- world challenges of business. A diverse team with both management-educated and seasoned professionals can create a truly dynamic environment that fosters innovative solutions.
