Maybe Stanford Graduate School of Business Should Mandate Workshop in Reading the Tarot
Of course, the prestigious Stanford Graduate School of Business has compulsory classes in accounting, finance, and computer modeling.
But also part of the unique value-add it creates,
reports The Economist, is
how it helps students with soft skills such as introspection. The more
professionals know who they are, how they are presenting themselves, and what
course correction is useful, the more successful they can be in leadership and
management.
To that non-number-crunching curriculum Stanford might add
a workshop on reading the Tarot. Those are the 78 mystical cards, dating back
to the 14th century, which connect the unconscious to the conscious. Sound
somewhat like the art of psychoanalysis? That's about right.
In April 2021, establishment The New York Times saluted
the Tarot as a tool for introspection. That helped make the unique messaging of
the Tarot a credible source for personal and professional enlightenment.
Incidentally, psychoanalysis is having a comeback in
America.
So what’s going on? My theory: The mindsets of rationalism
or chasing after evidence-based proof are no longer as satisfying as they had
been when the scientific method had been applied to just about
everything. An increasing number of my clients are highly educated
professionals. They are surrendering to the possibility that not all realities
are visible or measurable. Insight about themselves could be buried in the
unconscious.
None of this is new, of course. Psychologist Dan Goleman who
published the then breakthrough book “Emotional Intelligence” systematized what
we had been noticing for years. That is, those who knew themselves and how to
shape that self-knowledge into a commanding presence won out in both careers
and life. They range from Disney’s Bob Iger to law firm Paul Weiss’ chair Brad
Karp.
There is also the truism: The “C” students become the
bosses of the “A” ones. When the “A” kids were being one-dimensional with booking
it, the “C” youth were out there discovering the fit between themselves and
what the world could offer. As needed, they made adjustments.
