CMV: Management and upper management should focus on educating entry-level employees in to more advanced business practices to encourage critical thinking and improve productivity.

I always thought that entry-level employees should be encouraged to learn more about internal company processes to increase agency and bridge the gap between leadership and subordinates in the workplace. 

The lack of business-oriented education on entry level employees is in my point of view a barrier to entry to management positions, which is a valued endeavor for any company attempting to grow. 

More employees = more managers required

In a traditional sense, the best way to educate yourself in the process of leadership positions is to study and obtain a degree, but there should be other ways to obtain that knowledge and apply it in a more practical manner, not to mention the cost of getting an education.

In too many places I see people stuck in the same job position for years, even decades. Sure not everyone wants to be in a management position, but everyone should have the opportunity to be empowered to move up and not perceive themselves as another disposable worker drone in a given attrition rate. 

The standards for management appear high but if it is in the best interests of a company to gain more leadership positions, then the standards required of the employees seeking to pursue a higher level do not seem to be clearly communicated to employees. They are only communicated to them what is expected of them as *employees* and not individuals with agency and knowledge empowered to improve the company in the future. 

There should at least be a *layered* approach to the education of entry-level employees, slowly and systematically walking them through the process of understanding the *why* of business decisions and the many different functions management operates that will at least prepare them for a future role should they wish to pursue it.

Any reasonably competent manager will do exactly as you are suggesting they should — but most employees have no desire to improve in these ways that are actually beneficial, so it will largely appear to any outside viewer that “management doesn’t put in the effort.”

The employees that do want to move up and put in the effort are very, very often recognized and trained accordingly.
