Creativity an error

I remember a middle aged, middle class looking person asking me at one of the Qutab Institutional Area streets, what i thought of IIPM. I was not sure what to tell him, I acted MBAish and gave a non-committal, little-substance answer.

British poets of 19th century rarely wrote what they felt, they were conscious of being judged by the public and the fear of judgment meant that their poetry was not a work of art but science of intellectual vaccumness, which they disguised as wise insight. Our lives at b-school suffer from the same disease. We follow success hoping to recreate it by doing exactly like they way 'they' do/did it. Success is not a formula or equation but an event like any other, interlinked with many others not all of which are under our control. But at the assembly line of managers, creativity will keep on getting rejected as defect in the process. Just like the British poets.
