E-mail to Fast Company
Wonder whether education really matters?
It does, but not in the way common knowledge suggests. Ivy League? MBA? Technical training?
What do the following people have in common: Sergei Brin, Larry Page, Jeff Bezos, Will Wright, Jimmy Wales, Sean Combs, and Julia Child?
If you said they are all creative, entrepeneurial, shapers of the culture, I'd agree.
They also attended Montessori schools as children, and note that approach to education (hands on, experiential, self-directed) shaped them.
Interested?
