Contrary to popular opinion, CEOs of major U.S. companies come from a wide variety of private universities and state universities, not just a handful of well-publicized MBA programs. What does this fact tell you about sources of power and organizational politics

Answer: Power is earned

Step-by-step explanation:

The fact that so many influential CEOs come from such a wide array of universities shows that they had to work to get to where they are today and were not simply handed positions because of the university they came from.

It shows that if one wants to succeed in business, their alma mater does not matter. They could be from an Ivy league college or from a state college in Mississippi, what matters is their determination to work hard and gain a good track record that will take them all the way to the top.
