I see business students, bright-eyed and eager, and wonder if they could use a consumer warning such as "Please don't let all of the case studies, charts, and theories keep you from:
- Speaking up when you see something that's wrong;
- Regarding your co-workers as people and not as resources, capital, or some other godawful term;
- A daily and diligent smugness avoidance regimen;
- Humility; and
- Caring."
