Certainly, a must read for every high-school teacher, management-school professor and Talent Managers of every learning organization…

The reader needs to pick her own takeaway…I would recommend this book to you â€“ if you are 16 years old, if you are entering/passing out of a B-school, if you are 30 and climbing the corporate ladder, if you are parent to a teen and if you are 50 and a CEO â€“ it has a learning for all of us. I am purposely not turning this blog into a proper book-review I would like the readers to experience first-hand the concept this book offers, without any pre-conceived notions. It made me ponder, introspect am I equipped with skills and attitude required to manage this generation? Or, to be managed by this generation, one day not very far? I found a lot of questions to answer, many a things to learn. A manner, that brings glint to their eyes, whenever they think of the business-world…Īs a 32 year old, I found this book equally useful for me. Amongst the plethora of text-books, career-counseling books, self-help books, et al, what we lacked was one such work, which takes teens through a real-world of business, in the manner they want to learn. Many lack this orientation even when they enter the ubiquitous & pathetically mushroomed ‘management schools’. They were simply – students! Somehow, the rat race of Indian education overlooks this factor completely till you donâ€™t enter college.

However, I always missed the business-orientation in them. I have tutored a lot of students â€“ during my education years and thereafter at some MBA schools while working now. Much contrary to the prevalent opinion that teenagers are only hooked on to MTV, X-Box, dating and masti, the book captures the promise this GenY-minus-10years would bring in the world of business. Despite the fact that the book is written in form of a simple story, every page offers learning to 16 years and 32 years old alike! He takes us in the life of a teenager and helps us view business from their eyes. However, once you start reading, youâ€™d not simply pass through the pages. Contrarily, he ventures into the real world of 31 students, all in their teens spends months with them, becomes a part of them, and finally comes out with this very simply-written, yet a well-researched work.Īll of 157 pages, you would assume that itâ€™s a 3-hour read at best. Like all his earlier works, in this book too, he doesn’t preach, doesn’t load you with information. This is an absolutely path-breaking work! The Gardener pens a very crisp, captivating and insightful piece for the 16-year olds, taking them through the world of business. Just completed reading the latest book from Subroto Bagchi, ‘ MBA at 16 A Teenager’s Guide To The World Of Business’, Penguin 2012.
