Personal Development – Henley is top 10 in the world
Your personal development is at the heart of our approach to education and one of the cornerstones of the Henley MBA. Ever since the establishment of Henley Business School in 1945, the philosophy has been that personal and professional development cannot be separated. One is, so to speak, the prerequisite of the other. You, as a manager, need to be self-aware in order to practice the tools that the MBA's professional growth offers in the shape of new management models and frameworks.
Discover "the mastermind" behind Henley's personal development module, Dr. Chris Dalton, in the video below. He mentions the Henley MBA as "a journey into yourself," among other things. Additionally, you will run into current MBA students who will discuss how this program has impacted their personal leadership.
The following components make up the personal development module for the Henley MBA:
- Tests (IQ, behavior, preferences)
- Face-to-face instruction
- Individual coaching
- Responsibilities outlined in personal action/career plans
The module's overall theme is self-insight, or understanding your own abilities and weaknesses and how they relate to those around you. You learn to accelerate your strengths and make up for your weaknesses on the Henley MBA. In other words, focus on improving what you already do well and avoid letting your weaknesses generate needless roadblocks. Since professional and personal development cannot be separated, the Henley MBA includes an in-depth module on personal development.
As you read, the personal development process aims to encourage and push you in all areas of your growth. It stimulates your thinking about the material you learn in the other MBA program modules and components.
The goal of the topic is to provide you the ability to:
- Control the direction you want to go in the future.
- Follow your aspirations in both your personal and professional life.
- Make the most of the training for both you and your business.
- Reflect on what you've learned, your accomplishments, and your outcomes.
- Plan your career, education, and personal growth.
The final assignment requires you to submit a written reflection on your personal growth and how it relates to your workplace.
The MBA program incorporates personal development throughout with workshops, coaching, two written feedbacks, and strategies along the route. By doing so, you demonstrate your capacity for planning, learning, applying what you have learned, reflecting on it, and recording it.
