From Classroom to Career: Ross MBA’s Apply the Michigan Model of Leadership

by | May 1, 2025 | Michigan Model

At the Sanger Leadership Center, our leadership curriculum is anchored by the Michigan Model of Leadership (MMoL), a framework designed to help learners identify their leadership strengths and development areas. While the model is integrated into all Sanger programs, it’s also embedded throughout the Ross experience — giving students continuity and a shared language for growth across academic and professional settings.

Part-time MBA students like Melissa Luther, OMBA ’25, are actively applying the MMoL at work. She shared, “The Michigan Model of Leadership influences how I approach challenges, engage with others, and drive impact in my role. It has provided a structured way to think about leadership — balancing results, relationships, and resilience in every interaction or decision I make.”

The MMoL isn’t just a theoretical construct; it’s a practical tool for real-world leadership. Learn how members of the Sanger team apply the MMoL in their daily work, offering insights that can inspire your own leadership journey.
