5.9 LEADERSHIP

Despite the academic debate about the ability to teach or simply nurture leadership skills, many schools have adopted leadership development as a primary thrust of their programme. Harvard Business School has historically produced more CEOs of Fortune 500 companies than any other business school, and retains pre-eminence in this field. However, other schools are adopting innovative approaches. Wharton includes leadership development training at the military academy at Quantico as an optional part of its programme.

In Europe, INSEAD and IMD have long tied in excellence in MBA education with excellence in executive education, and there has been a transfer of knowledge from the Executive Education departments to help foster leadership skills in the younger MBA pool. Other schools, like IE - Instituto de Empresa, are following suit with this philosophy.
