Manchester Business School to Launch New Fellowship Program: MBA News
The program will target senior managers in an effort to address a perception that management has become engrained with a culture of ‘bending’ the rules in order to maximize results.
Chris Bones is professor of creativity and leadership at Manchester Business School. Speaking to the Financial Times, he said, “It becomes increasingly difficult as a manager to stand up to the culture. Managers very rarely have people to talk to outside the company.”
The ultimate aim of the fellowship program is to foster a community that can then engineer a new and improved management culture amongst modern organizations. Those completing the program are to be responsible for its further development in the future as well as mentoring or even teaching participants.
Center for Creative Leadership’s global links in executive education fully-utilized
The fellowship program will comprise four one-week modules, each taking place in a different country and having a different focus. In the US, participants will study innovation; in China, growth; in Ethiopia, NGOs; and in the UK, self-reflection.
The far-flung locations come courtesy of the Center for Creative Leadership which, as a global provider of executive education, has nine offices worldwide. Recently, it was ranked 8th in a 2013 Financial Timesworldwide survey of executive education.
The four modules will be spread out over a period of ten months to minimize disruption to those with little time to spare. After completion, participants will become ‘Global Fellows’ and will have the opportunity to formalize their business education with Manchester Business School by being placed on an accelerated pathway to the Manchester Global MBA or the school’s part-time DBA (Doctor of Business Administration) program.
