Introduction Classroom sessions are supplemented with Internet-based teaching tools that provide structure for independent learning while facilitating interaction between participants and faculty. Managers today face new challenges as they guide their organizations through an increasingly turbulent business environment. Technological innovation, global competition, and the complexity of a diverse yet networked world all create a real need for organizational leadership that can respond effectively to rapid change, and in so doing create world-class enterprises that are responsive, creative, supportive, and highly flexible.
Leadership is more than good management.
Leadership requires strategic thinking in addition to technical knowledge, a tolerance for ambiguity and change, and the ability to communicate persuasively with teams of varied backgrounds and objectives. Leaders are expected to become facilitators, stewards, coaches, and teachers, sharing responsibility and recognition while empowering others to develop their unique talents and capabilities. That's why the Terry College of Business Executive MBA Program was created. The 18-month program consists of an innovative and rigorous course of study that emphasizes both conceptual and practical development. Executive MBA faculty members are known internationally for their achievements in research, teaching, and consulting, and are uniquely positioned to relate leading-edge concepts and techniques to the business challenges facing your organization.
