Applying theory to the real world

“LBS gives you the opportunity to develop your leadership skills in a safe environment. You work in diverse teams and take time out from your career so you can reflect on the feedback you receive and put what you learn into practice."

“At Boston Consulting Group (BCG) I had worked on a number of projects in several industry practice areas, including energy, media, private equity and public sector. An MBA was the natural next step for me to make the transition from team member to team leader."

“I particularly enjoyed LBS’s study group format, where students work on a range of programme-related projects with the same classmates for a year. Everyone has the opportunity to lead a particular project. Because you’re working with the same people, you develop real trust and everyone feels comfortable about giving feedback on each other’s
leadership style."

“Exploring organisational behaviour - seeing how and why people make decisions and the factors that influence their response to instruction or direction - was another real highlight."

"Learning about psychology and how people work was really enlightening. It allowed me to reflect on work-related experiences I’d had before taking the MBA and get a better understanding of what prompted certain reactions. For me, the programme was an opportunity to connect classroom theory to the workplace.”
