"Being Class President allowed me the opportunity to try alternate leadership styles that complement my core leadership abilities. I feel totally confident that I can approach any leadership/business situation with the ability to adapt my style and approach based on the particular needs of that situation with a reasonable probability for success."

Leadership Development
Mobilizing people by understanding yourself and others
Leadership is a noble calling. With the Sloan Leadership Seminar and the Business School’s Center for Leadership Development and Research, Fellows have a variety of opportunities to gain a deeper self-understanding of the topic, and explore how they personally lead teams and organizations.
The Experience
Sloan Fellows take part in diverse, yet complementary, activities to develop their leadership potential. In real time, Fellows can apply leadership models and learning through classroom discussions and simulations, in study groups, and in student leadership roles where participation, feedback, and self-reflection are essential to personal and professional growth.
- Assessments provide data on your strengths and development opportunities that can guide academic, career, and personal advising.
- Co-curricular learning or “leading-by-doing” is critical to developing leadership capacity. Study groups, team projects, and class leadership roles provide a safe environment to test leadership ideas, and to encourage constructive peer feedback.
- Leaders and opinion-makers from business and government meet with Sloan Fellows to describe their setbacks, challenges, and insights through:
- Top Management Seminars held in the Sloan classroom
- Sloan Study Trips in the United States and abroad
- Other GSB speakers
- Conferences and events at the Business School
