a select group of us employees were given series of MBA courses but just an overview. it was not even a mini-MBA course which is one year. we were not graded thus we did not have to be interactive, but we did ask a lot of questions.

for that brief moment of time when we were on the view of top (supposed to be), i understood why it is difficult to be a real, C-employee. aside from leadership, there is strategic thinking, organizational maps, executive finance (now i understand those annual reports), marketing, etc.

i have reached the M-level, due to this and that, but i feel it is not enough. i think there are some courses i need to take and some more books to read. so CIO? i think that is only with big companies and that is really tough.
