Building Business Acumen with Nathaniel Schooler & Gunilla Shein Former Journalist 25+ Years, author of 23 Business books and Ex Media CEO Gunilla Shein and I discuss what people need to know in business. We both tell some funny stories about building business acumen and deliver lots of valuable information about business management and ongoing learning. Recently Gunilla has been asked about where to begin building business acumen and business skills and she said it boils down to the skills and the courage that you need and it is imperative you find the qualifications and the acumen. If you don’t have the courage and the skills then it will be much harder to create success and building business acumen is crucial! In Silicon valley they do not look at failure in the same way, they understand that without failure there is no success; much like when we were children learning how to walk! Building business acumen is the same in this way.
