Should we start another thread for analysis of this question?
I'm curious about the degree to which we can/should tie in our own experiences in our analysis of business leadership in an increasingly globalized economy.

Hey all,

I'm still iffy on whether i'll eventually apply to Darden, but I thought it was worth mentioning that I called Darden's admissions office and was told there will be more essay questions later.

That being said, I agree it sounds more like a mid-term essay question than an admissions question. I'm not a huge fan of it.

I feel there should be a personal connection to the perspectives as we are asked for OUR perspectives on leadership... but the second part- linking globalization to a leadership perspective is the true depth of the question.
There are so many ways to look at the scenario... My Questions are :
- Should we be looking at leadership at workplace from firms top management`s view
or the leadership at my level of work execution
- the effect of globalization on the firm which indirectly affects me OR the direct influence of globalization on my views?

Thanks a lot for the input MrTunes -
The essay question is well in tune with Dardens Tag line "The Darden School of Business improves society by developing principled leaders for the world of practical affairs" :idea:

Hey folks, i can't believe it's already been a year since I've applied (well, almost a year). Anyway, I will be with the Darden class of 2013 and if I can be of any help, do let me know. Good luck, everyone!

Hey Bakfed, have read a lot of your posts. Thanks for joining in on the thread. I am sure all the 2012 applicants will have a lot to ask. When will you be starting school at darden? I have a lot of questions about the school , will make a list and post it.
