Leadership MBA Rankings

Despite the ongoing academic debate about the ability to teach or simply nurture leadership skills, many schools have adopted leadership development as a primary thrust of their MBA programs. Business schools have come under particular scrutiny in the past few years due to the number of business leaders presiding over failed organizations, some of which suffered prominent media speculation on their organization’s contribution to the global financial crisis. Many schools have made a conscious effort to address and understand these issues, and consequently have worked at redesigning and redeveloping their curriculum to reflect the type of student and graduate that they would like to see moving through their programs in the future.
