Managerial skills learnt in the classroom can never match those learnt from experience

The fact that real-world experience is any better than classroom or bookish knowledge. If we talk about a classroom or closed environment scenario, the situation is very much ideal. When we go out in the real world, things are very dynamic there. The sudden change of things and when things turn out differently from the planning, now the real managerial skill takes over.

Real-world problem requires planning and execution, and at the same time, keeping in mind what to do if things turn out differently, such things are not something that can be simulated in a classroom.

But you can always learn from someone else's mistake. Why do people even spend time on solving and reading cases and their scenarios. You can learn from the situations of that time and can take help from the referances. If these things implementes successfully then you can turn out any unfavourable situation in your favour.

Conclusion: Practical knowledge and real life managerial skills have no comparison with the classroom knowledge but if classroom knowledge applied carefully in unfavourable situations because someone else's mistake is someone's learning so we can make most out of the situation and can handle the situation in a better way.

Hello everyone.

As we all know to become a successful leader and manager a person should possess some good and exceptional managerial skills. A managerial skill is something which helps in managing people efficiently and taking work from them effectively.

I think a person can learn good managerial skills through experience rather than sitting in class because in class we are just talking about those kinds of skills like the teacher just providing us with the knowledge of those skills in a theoretical manner but when it comes to experience in any company there we can learn this types of skills practically. Like in a company, we can learn how to motivate, manage and work from them but in the classroom, we can not due to a shortage of resources and expertise.

Hi Everyone, I feel it's very much true.

Managerial skills is developed better within the person when they have practical knowledge than theoretical knowledge. They should have experience with them to face all kind of situations. Theory don't work in handling businesses in the exact same way how it is taught, it is something which should be experienced by being a part of it. Some minute things which should be given a lot of attention are not even taught properly theoretically but can be noted and managed well in a practical situation.

So, when it is about managing things and situations it is practical knowledge and experience that speaks volumes than theoretical knowledge.

Hello everyone, I'm here to speak about the given topic

I assume classroom learning is theoretical-based and has no practical exposure. So assuming that I can say yes I agree with this statement, practical application of knowledge especially for a manager is very important as quick thinking, problem-solving, ability to think out of the box etc are very important to deal with certain situation which arises in the real business world, one can't go by the books. Of course, as a new beginner one needs to have a basic understanding of scenarios one can face in the real business world hence in an MBA curriculum one is made to study not only theory but also given assignments to do with groups, simulations, scenario-based case studies etc to test one practical application of knowledge.

Yes, I agree with the fact that managerial skills learnt in class cannot match with those learnt from experience. The skills we learn in class give us a foundation and help us to think and apply those skills in real life. But the skills we learn from experience are of utmost importance and are not taught in any institutions, we get to know about it from experiences only. The skills learnt from experience include leadership quality, problem-solving skills and mindset to get the job done and the skills are used in every part of our life. So, both skill have their importance and we can neglect any skill as both are linked to each other.

Yes, I agree that Classroom knowledge is the base for the corporate job and it is essential to know the base of corporate, it gives us the courage to handle critical situations. We may become the best leaders by experience.

I am sure that the classroom knowledge or skills can't match the experience of learning but the main point is classroom knowledge is base for the corporate journey and becoming successful in the real world and applying managerial skills classroom knowledge gives a base to gaining experience in the real-world for making better output from the managerial learning providing learning session from both classroom teachers a real words entrepreneur or who working after the management learning it will help for better learning.

In my opinion classroom teaches how and when to apply managerial theory in the real world.

Well, theory is a part of the classroom and experience can only be achieved by applying and experimenting on those theories in real workplace, hence both are essential for making a better decision in the workplace while facing any issues.

In my opinion, it's incorrect to assume that theoretical knowledge gained in the classroom can't be applied in the field. I believe that theoretical foundations guide a student's thinking in a specific direction, and it's the student's responsibility to build upon that foundation through practical experience.

My opinion on this topic is that even though theoretical knowledge is important for proper knowledge of the job. Field experience is more important as it teaches you how to handle problems and unexpected situations which are not taught to you in a book and by tackling the unexpected problem we learn how to deal with a real-life scenario rather than just knowing what was taught to you in a book.
