Yesterday, I was struggling with California traffic on my way back from meeting with Bob Beck, the Dean of the Naval Postgraduate School.
Bob, a fifteen tear veteran of IBM and some other household names, is a delightful fellow who really “gets it.” He understand the challenges of retaining human capital and shares my concern for making sure the Navy is able to hold onto its good (and great) people in the midst of this escalating workforce crisis.
He challenged me to tell him how I could contribute to his curriculum.
I asked if they were teaching “Employee Retention.” Of course the answer was “No.”
Most MBA programs don’t even touch on this topic, the greatest challenge facing business today. To their credit, a handful now offer courses in “Human Resources.”
So obviously, we will have further conversations.
Looking forward. . .
