Excellent talk from Tom Peters on Education, Over-Medication, Creativity and Hiring

Some really great bits in here:

“We nail facts into students’ heads and there’s nothing wrong with it if the goal is to employ someone for 40 years in a Ford Motor Company Model A factory.”

“The A students work for the B students, the C students run the businesses, and the D students have the buildings named after them.”

“Never ever hire someone who had a grade point average of 4.0.”

I highly recommend you take 4 minutes and 12 seconds to watch/listen to the whole thing.
