Hi Stacey,
I was wondering what level of leadership skills are demanded by top business schools. I have been managing a 4-5 people in my company. But I believe that managing a few resources isn't actually leadership. Some manager might not be leader but mere experience in industry gives them opportunity to lead.
I don't have any great evidence of my leadership skills. Just small stories on how I managed to take control in difficult situation and steer the outcome to right direction. But I am not convinced that top MBA schools might be interested in listening this type of stories. Out of thousands of applicants, this type of stories really don't stand out loud.
I don't have any fancy example of how did I raise 500 K dollars for hurricane victims or how did I saved a couple of million dollars of my company by taking a right decision on right time etc.. (Although, I am sure I did save them a lot of money overtime).
As you have vast experience dealing with MBA applicants, in your opinion, do successful applicants of top business schools share a fancy evidence of their leadership skills ?
Thanks for the help...
