The Program
The Michigan Model of Leadership is based on a half-century of research and practice, and it serves as a simple and useful guide for seasoned and up-in-coming leaders alike. Virtually all Ross students take part in our interactive and engaging Michigan Model of Leadership workshop early in the business school experience. In it, you’ll learn about skills and capabilities embedded in the model and ways you might add value in teams and in the workplace. In addition, you’ll identify personal strengths and weaknesses, and steps you can begin taking now to further develop your capabilities and lead more adaptively.
Ross graduate students participate in the workshop during orientation. It is also available upon request and has been offered to groups of faculty, staff, and students across the university for a fee.
