The Application Process

Hi,

I am applying to LBS and wanted to better understand this question and how to approach it.



Please describe your experience of working in and leading teams, either in your professional or personal life. Include any specific challenges you have faced. Given this experience, what role do you think you will play in your first year study group?


In the question, do I have to give a specific example where I led a team and the challenges I faced while leading that team ?

or do I have to describe the general experience I have leading teams, how I handle things and then mention specific challenges from various difference experiences ?

Is there place where can get good info about LBS' study groups ?



Thanks

First of all, you should learn or know about the role of student life at LBS, particular the role of study groups.

Additionally, reflect on your experience in teams. If you have been involved in teams outside of work and your other essays are focused specifically work, then this essay presents an opportunity to discuss another facet of your life.

You may want to ponder on the following:
Have you been able to both lead and occasionally take a back seat when others with skills or qualifications your lack are better prepared to lead your team?

After thinking about your team experience and the role of study groups at LBS show how your past experience will help you contribute to your study group. (Make sure you integrate the two aspects into your #3 essay).

Hope this helps.
Good Luck.
