What kind of leader will you be?
One of the overlapping core courses in the MBA programmes for Full-time MBA and Executive MBA is the Personal Leadership Development Programme (PLD). The equivalent for the Global Executive MBA is the Strategic Leadership Development Programme.
The MBA experience comprehensively integrates leadership. Leadership development is woven into every class, assignment, and project, challenging you to apply theoretical concepts to real-world scenarios and make informed decisions as a true business leader. Through dialogue and interaction with peers and leaders from diverse backgrounds, industries, and cultures, the PLD programme helps you build your leadership competencies.
In the GEMBA programme, the Strategic Leadership Development track focuses on developing the competencies required to serve as a successful strategic leader. This track includes both Personal Leadership (PL) and Strategic Leadership (SL) components. The PL component develops foundational leadership skills like curiosity, power dynamics, ecological well-being, and purpose. SL focuses on strategic leadership skills at or below the C-suite level, including performance monitoring, problem diagnosis, vision development, stakeholder engagement, strategic decision-making, and sustainability.
Throughout the programmes, RSM provides the tools, guidance, and opportunities to practice, ensuring continual progress and learning. Peers and coaches offer unwavering support. Engagement with the marketplace allows for the practical application of acquired knowledge. If you are seeking to change as a person, develop yourself, and discover new opportunities, pursuing an MBA may be the right path for you. At RSM, our MBA programmes offer a little magic that sets it apart and aligns with your aspirations.
