In business the most critical ability is to develop positive relationships. If people like you, respect you, and want to help you, you will have great advantage in accomplishing your goals. Your ability to influence, motivate and get cooperation from all types of people is critical ability will determine your success in business. Structure: Quantified vs. Subjective: Schools are intentionally quantified, that is, they are designed to measure an individual student’s knowledge. To be successful a student chooses a degree program and follows the class and credit requirements. The student always knows exactly where he is in the process and how much it will take to finish. Business is much more subjective. Business is less structured because it consists of relationships between people, their opinions of you, and how much they believe and trust in you. Many grads have difficultly adjusting to the lack of structure in business compared to school. Customer vs. Employee: School you are the customer. In business it changes. Instead of you paying money to receive services, the company will pay you money to perform a service for them. Many grads think their company’s primary concern is to enhance their careers and help them succeed. Performance: Objective vs. Judgment: In school the grading system is objective and impersonal. Performance in business is determined by the opinion of others. This reliance on one person’s judgment for your entire annual performance rating puts added emphasis on your ability to develop positive relationships. Communication: Written vs. Verbal: In school a great deal of information you learn is written. In business 80% of the communication you give and receive consists of one-on-one or small group interaction. Your success will be determined by how well you use the words that motivate people and how well you avoid words that offend them. Prestige: Senior vs. Trainee: As a senior in school you have prestige. When you start your first job will drop from a position of high prestige that you held as a college senior to one of very low prestige.
