WHO WE ARE
The Center for Leadership and Ethics at the McCombs School of Business is preparing leaders for an increasingly chaotic, dynamic, and rapid-paced business environment. Through cutting-edge research and innovative content, we generate transformative insights and life-changing educational experiences so that every student, corporate partner, and leader has an improved capacity to lead, leveraging their unique voice to make a positive impact on society, their organization and the people around them. With some of the most forward-thinking minds in leadership development and research, sports leadership and analytics, and an award-winning collection of ethics education material, The Center for Leadership and Ethics is changing how leaders learn, grow, and lead.
WHAT WE'RE FUNDRAISING FOR
Did you know that leadership education is now a curricular requirement of the BBA and MBA degree programs at the McCombs School of Business? In these chaotic times, the leadership needs of the business world, and society at large, have never been greater. To prepare our students for this rapidly-changing environment, we have ensured that critical and experiential leadership training touches every McCombs BBA and MBA student.
At the undergraduate level, the Leadership Challenges and Innovation course introduces students to core business challenges and equips them with the knowledge and tools to leverage diverse perspectives and solve problems in a dynamic and rapid-paced business environment. In this course, incoming BBA students are trained to lead by upper-class Peer Discussion Leaders and debate with their peers on ways to creatively solve complex business problems.
Our MBA students engage in Leading for Impact, a two-year capstone course that focuses on developing students’ abilities to deal with complex and difficult leadership dilemmas in an increasingly uncertain and polarized environment. The course provides them with a framework for how to creatively think through pressing problems. At the crux of this course is a final Capstone project, in which student teams connect with an organizational leader in the community to help them generate solutions for a leadership dilemma. Through the use of quantitative and qualitative analysis, as well as examining stakeholder considerations, students gain experience in evaluating complex business decisions.
The classroom and experiential learning we provide to McCombs students through these leadership courses not only prepares leaders for the challenges to come, but also elevates and differentiates our business education from peer institutions.
YOUR IMPACT
Every student at McCombs is presented with experiential learning in our leadership programming that increases their knowledge of self and others, allowing them opportunities to put their learning into action. You can help us improve and extend this programming to equip more successful and principled leaders who are better prepared to manage, lead, and develop others. Your gift will reach every student in our BBA and MBA programs, including our Dallas, Houston, and Evening MBA programs.
Leaders change the world. WE CHANGE LEADERS.
