Hi 👋🏼 how does everyone deal with someone who doesn’t produce at pace? We’re a small team of 3 at a startup. Since this guy joined in October he’s hardly produced any work and the work he has produced has taken weeks and weeks to produce. As a result I’m given 80% of the design work to complete. The other person is strictly research. How do I bring this up to management without sounding rancorous and negative?

I have been looking at the curriculums for Harvard Business School's Master of Business Administration and Harvard Extension School's Master's in Management. They both have the same requirements, generally speaking, including a field immersion course that serves as a capstone in the Master's in Management, which is fairly new. If I am not able to gain admission to Harvard Business School, but wanted a similar educational experience to become a consultant, should I attend Harvard Extension?
