An MBA teaches you how to be managed, not how to manage

The ability to lead a team is actually the hardest skill for only children to master, because they lacked sufficient social interaction growing up.

What I mean by social interaction isn’t the kind where parents book a hotel, serve buffet meals, and have every kid give a speech or put on a talent show afterward.

That’s not socializing; that’s performing.

Only children’s performance skills absolutely crush the previous generation, since they’ve been practicing it their whole lives.

Their oratory skills are sharp—all of you are their audience, listening every day;

Their knowledge is broad, thanks to good education;

They’re confident—hard not to be, since they’ve always been the center of attention, growing up under the spotlight.

But none of this counts as real social interaction. That happens when a group of kids spends all day together without adults around, climbing trees, catching birds, just like Lei Dongbao was the kid boss in Leicun from childhood.

Through communication and teamwork, kids form organic relationships, and a few with high emotional intelligence gradually develop management skills.

Such experiences are nearly impossible for only children during this era. Parents won’t let them be alone, and once adults step in, interactions between kids turn into performances.

A bunch of kids quietly put on shows for the parents, each stepping up to perform their little version of leadership, and once the “socializing” ends, everyone goes home.
