My last entry about working with people who have MBAs started me thinking about how you deal with situations where either you feel that your manager is not as capable of doing his job as you are (aorund 95% of us) or where you want to progress and there is no obvious way ahead.
These situations are difficult for all of us, but having put in the investment of time effort and money into a professional development program such as an MBA must exacerbate these feelings even more. I suppose the only way you can really deal with them is by considering the experiencial learning that you are gaining. Ultimately of course you have the right to leave your job and find another one at the level that you believe you can function at, but this can be easier said than done.
Managing careers is usually a matter of compromise, and gaining an MBA, although it might make the odds somewhat more in your favor, doesn't take this necessity away.
