During a student’s time at a business school, they’re likely to learn a lot about the importance of becoming a successful leader – but what does that really mean?
Many professionals argue that the most important leadership qualities can be both inherited and learned. Effective leaders don’t have to hold positions of power, just as there are many different types of people, there are also numerous styles of leadership.
At the Business Graduates Association, we believe a good leader should possess a number of qualities, including:
-
Open-mindedness
-
Flexibility
-
Dependability
-
Self-awareness
-
Respect
-
Adaptability
-
Innovation
Recognising the responsibility held by business schools in developing future leaders is crucial to ensuring individuals can reach their full potential both during and after their studies.
