Sachin H. Jain, President and CEO, Board Director at SCAN Health Plan, shared on LinkedIn:
“When I was in high school, I used to tell my aunt, Kanti Auntie (Kanti Jain), how badly I wanted to attend a particular college.
She was skeptical and offered a piece of advice I didn’t fully understand at the time:
‘Students make the school. Schools don’t make the student.’
As a wayward teenager, I shrugged off her Yoda-like wisdom.
Years later – after attending a lot of school and working in many organizations – I’m finally beginning to understand what she meant (I can be a slow learner).
The same lesson applies far beyond education. The true value of any organization – schools, companies, even communities – is the people who make it up.
People make organizations. Organizations don’t make people. It’s an easy truth to forget in a world obsessed with brands, rankings, prestige, and logos.
But over time, I’ve come to believe Kanti Auntie was exactly right.”
