Can anybody guide what is ISB expecting in the 2nd essay?
The second ISB prompt seeks insight into the candidate’s ability to assimilate learning opportunities from varied experiences. It clearly asks for anecdotes; fluffy narratives with catch phrases and aspirational corporate lingo won’t make the cut as per me.
While there can be several ways to approach the story line, one effective way could be to take two instances from professional life - say a failure and a challenge and contexualize the learning.
Examples of learning from a teammate or a senior and how that particular habit/approach/mindset continues to help you grow can also be mentioned.
Next, we need to link the learning so far and address the gaps that link to the need for an MBA now. Important point: Since the first essay takes care of leadership, be careful to avoid an overlap of leadership instances in the second essay.
Again, this is one suggestion and for each candidate, their unique story will need individual treatment. Hope this helps! If you want to discuss your essays or get them reviewed, feel free to connect on 9619551984.
