Let's assume business is your strong suit. If you\u2019ve earned a degree in business administration, those skills in accounting, finance, or project management may already be in your wheelhouse. But do you have what it takes to lead a team? To perform not just as a businessperson, but as a business leader<\/em> of entrepreneurs. Here are a few core strengths MBA leaders typically share:\r\n\r\nInnovation<\/strong>- A focus on newness, improvement, and spread of ideas or technologies.\r\n\r\nEfficiency<\/strong>- The ability to do things well, successfully, and without wasting\u00a0materials, energy, effort, money, and time in approaching a task or in producing a desired result.\r\n\r\nCollaboration<\/strong>- Occurs when teams work together to access greater resources, recognition and rewards when facing competition for finite resources.\r\n\r\nCommunication<\/strong>- Business communications guide an organization towards fundamental goals, through information-sharing between employees and people outside the company.\r\n\r\nProblem solving<\/strong> - The process of identifying difficulties, developing possible solution paths, and taking the appropriate course of action.\r\n\r\nStrategic thinking<\/strong>- Intentional and rational thought processes that analyze critical factors and variables that will influence the long-term success of a business, a team, or an individual.\r\n\r\n\u201cToday, leadership is more important than ever,\u201d says Dr. Carly Speranza, Assistant Professor at the College of Business, Innovation, Leadership and Technology (BILT) at Marymount University in Arlington, VA. \u201cYou want an MBA program that gives you an opportunity to expand your personal and professional leadership abilities.\u201d\r\n\r\nWhile leadership traits that organizations seek, by and large, remain consistent, trends and best practices continue to evolve in today\u2019s business landscape. In the past it was thought that innovation could only come from hiring outside of a company. But in fact, there\u2019s evidence that under the right conditions, a wide range of rank-and-file employees can be a continuous source of new ideas.\r\n\r\nWith that in mind, the best Master\u2019s in Business Administration programs are designed to prepare you for real, measurable success \u2014 a graduate program that\u2019s dedicated to weaving inquiry-based learning, hands-on assignments, faculty research, and one-on-one professional development into the curriculum.\r\n\r\nWhether you\u2019re a rising professional who wants to become a better, more confident and emotionally intelligent collaborator or a manager looking to reposition yourself in the workplace, an MBA with a leadership specialization from Marymount University<\/a> can help you promote your organization\u2019s success, as well as your own. You\u2019ll be well prepared to think critically about options, identify emerging business problems, and design and manage ethical solutions in an evolving global world. And that\u2019s good business.\r\n\r\nKeywords: leadership, MBA, master\u2019s degree in business administration, professional development, strategic thinking, innovation","link":"https:\/\/marymount.edu\/blog\/category\/blog\/graduate-education-resources\/","name":"Graduate Education Resources","slug":"graduate-education-resources","taxonomy":"category","parent":766,"meta":[],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nGraduate Education Resources -
