According to a TIME Magazine article, an analysis of the resumes of 2,000 leaders in the U.S. reveals that attending elite schools and working at prestigious consulting firms can increase the likelihood of reaching leadership positions. Harvard University is the top school on the list, while McKinsey & Co. is the top company. The article highlights the systemic pipeline that perpetuates inequality in America, making it more difficult for individuals from diverse backgrounds to break into leadership roles. The article also discusses the career funnel process, where consulting and finance companies aggressively recruit students from elite schools, convincing them that these jobs are the next step for high achievers. However, industries that produce tangible goods, such as engineering and agriculture, tend to recruit from schools that offer technical skills rather than elite private institutions. The article concludes by mentioning that early career choices and a willingness to compete with other talented individuals can contribute to long-term success and leadership.
