PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT

Deliberate career management makes you a more effective leader. And you'll learn to apply the same process to develop leadership potential in others.

Professional Development Planning is a fundamental aspect of the Olin EMBA experience. It emphasizes self-awareness, development of individual strengths and deliberate career management.

Assessment and Coaching
Your professional development journey begins in orientation and continues throughout the program and beyond:
  • Quantitative and qualitative personal assessments, with online tools and tracking.
  • Time for reflection and mid-course corrections.
  • Membership in a “learning” organization, where everyone is committed to growth and development.
Communication and Leadership
Throughout the program, students build communication and negotiation competencies; explore timely issues related to ethical conduct and responsible management; and examine the personal values and individual strengths that shape leadership style and effectiveness.

Personal and Professional Growth
For many, Professional Development Planning is a process of discovery and change; for others, the experience validates and prompts renewed commitment to personal and professional goals. You’ll use these life skills time and again — not only for your own benefit but also to guide and mentor others — the next generation of leaders in your company and community.
