MBA UltraLite

This week, we kicked off the first of a ten-session “crash course” in business and leadership, designed for rising stars in growth companies and taught by a mix of academicians and experienced business leaders. We created this course in response to the voices of CEOs who were asking all of their employees to make management decisions, often with very limited business education and leadership training. By explaining the rationale, language and inner workings of business and each functional area (Strategy, Operations, Marketing, HR, Finance, etc.) we begin to build a holistic bridge between teammates that often don’t understand each other. We then crack open doorways of leadership development, covering personal assessment and learning, communication, negotiation and project management. In the end, each participant gains practical tools for how he or she may create value on a personal and organizational level, benefiting themselves, their companies and the region as a whole.
