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

I agree with topic, Manager are born and not trained however I would like to reframe it as though managers are born however they need to take some training to polish some of the skills. Also training can lead them to right direction as well as help them to take desiction in carieer path.

Practical knowladge would help person to get rid of the instances as well as decesion making in future however classroom training enables them to aviod instances.

Practice make man perfect but grooming is also required to match the skill in todays compititive era.

In classroom we basically shares the situations faced during the our day to day work which can preferably used for referece hence classroom training is needed.

Hi everyone, I believe that classroom knowledge is as much important as experience because skill and technique can be implemented to the real work can be taught in classroom only. No one can directly start working until and unless his or her base is made strong so we cannot ignore class room education. But yes, experience is also important as the same because it will teach to tackle the real situation what is happening in the real world.

No I am not agree with it. In class room you only learn skills or tactics theoretically. But with experience you can learn how to implement tactics those learnt in class room. So without experience you will not able to use that skills effectively. Without practical knowledge theoretical seems handicap.

Hi friends, I know that managerial skills learnt from the classroom can never ever match the skills we learnt from experience. And this is one of the reason, even in schools and colleges we have practicals which will be a lot easier. And sometimes these practicals helps us to understand those theories.

Hey forum members,

I wanted to share my thoughts on the given debate topic: "Managerial skills learnt in the classroom can never match those learnt from experience".

Having spent several years working in various roles across different industries, I've come to appreciate the immense value of real-world experience in honing one's managerial abilities.

Classroom learning definitely provides a solid foundation and theoretical knowledge, which is crucial. It gives us the frameworks, theories, and best practices to understand the fundamentals of management. However, there's an undeniable gap between theory and practice. Real-life situations present us with unique challenges that textbooks simply can't predict.

Through hands-on experience, we encounter the complexities of interpersonal dynamics, adapting to rapidly changing situations, and making tough decisions under pressure. These real-world scenarios provide us with a deeper understanding of the intricacies of management that no lecture or textbook can fully capture.

Moreover, experience helps us develop essential soft skills such as effective communication, empathy, and problem-solving. We learn how to navigate conflicts, motivate teams, and foster a positive work environment. These skills are often developed through trial and error, which is a vital part of the learning process.

While classroom learning equips us with a theoretical framework, it's the practical application that transforms that knowledge into true expertise. So, it's not a matter of classroom learning versus experiential learning; rather, it's the combination of both that shapes us into well-rounded and effective managers.

In conclusion, while classroom learning sets the stage, the true magic happens when we put theory into action through real-world experience. The challenges we face, the decisions we make, and the lessons we learn along the way are the building blocks of exceptional managerial skills. So, let's embrace the classroom as a starting point and seize every opportunity to learn and grow through real-life experiences.

Thanks everyone.

Hi everyone, I am here to point out my view on "managerial skills learnt in the classroom can never match those learnt from experience".

I would like to say for managerial skills you need experience and this experience will get strong when your classroom training is to be strong. But we can relate both on some level, because on my experience I can say worker has more experience or knowledge about a machine than an engineer as he has experience on that particular work and engineer can only relate it through his theoretical knowledge.

Now comes to managerial skills, I must it only and only develop when you apply classroom training again and again on your work then only you will get experience and develop managerial skills.

I think managerial skills taught in classroom for some purpose. Because these are define by the expertise. The managerial skills we learnt in class room can help in our practical life. And it is true that " Managerial skills learnt in the classroom can never match those learnt from experience". Because experience comes from practical things which always taught a lesson to us. And lesson is more important than theoretical thoughts.

I would like to share my views on this too.

It's true that the Managerial skills learnt in the classroom can never match those learnt from experience. For some people, what we learn in schools, colleges are never made use of them in real-life experiences.

The managerial skills taught in the classroom are too theoretical for any real-life scenarios.

They are not taught how to handle pressure, stress etc.

There are many scenarios that obviously cannot be covered in a few months of curriculum.

In a practical experience, we meet different people, & learnt different things.

Managerial skills in theory are very "generic'. This is not the case in the case of real-life experiences.

In real life, depending on the work environment and people, one needs to change the way work can be managed.

Against.

It will be unfair to pass judgment that Managerial skills learnt in the classroom can never match those learnt from experience.

It is a known fact that most of the business tycoons have studied from the top B schools.

What is learnt in the classroom may not completely match with real-life scenarios, however, the basics of any manager are patience, ability to motivate and manage a team.

Such basics are always experienced in real life, although in different forms.

What really matters is, how well a manager can handle his company. If the company employees are happy, it does not matter what he learnt in the classroom is being made us off or not. A key to any good manager is to motivate the Employee and consider their personal issues.

I think that there should be some base for everything, so classroom act as a base for our fundamental knowledge, if we will not be knowing about the fundamental rules then how could we implement the practical world? no doubt experience come from working but we coild only be succesful when we gave studies the fundamentles and with the education only we colud implement in the proper manner, practical ways are adopted after seeing the corporate scenario, if the person has not done any prac thing in classroom then he might face the prob in corporate world, therefore prac things are made understand in the classrooms so I conclude that the base for teh managerail skills is the education in the classroms.

Dear Team,

I agreed with Mr. Jayabaskar, when I have started my career after Graduation, I have faced lots of problem, because that was my 1st job and I realized that experience is more important compare with the class room studies.
