| FROM From Bench to Board (Fuqua Current Student): Leadership: the Key Ingredient to Success |
|
Toward the end of my internship, I was asked by a senior executive what I was surprised most about my summer. I paused for a long time. "Leadership, and how it was so front and center to my experience". Like many new MBAs on the job, I thought my goal was to perform functionally. My expectation going in was to learn a thing or two about health care and give a stellar performance on my project, or in other words, to get a "good grade". I wanted to hone and show off my marketing skills and industry knowledge. However, at the end of the internship, I realized that leadership was in fact what was most important.

| FROM From Bench to Board (Fuqua Current Student): Gaining Exposure to Senior Leaders: Night Jobs |
|
If your goal is to move up in an organization, it's important to gain exposure to senior leadership. And when I say exposure, I don't mean through a one-on-one or a couple of social events. I mean by working on an actual project together. These are projects that typically take extra time beyond your day job. They are called - quite simply - night jobs. Continue reading » |
