BEST EDUCATION FOR LEADERSHIP IN ANY SECTOR OF WORLD ECONOMY IS TWO YEARS OF RIGOROUS BUSINESS FUNDAMENTALS 1. Good leadership requires careful penetrative thinking and in addition requires absolute self control. The man who can focus and thereby magnify the wills of all associated with him is a leader. Business is no longer a one man show. The best leader is the `first among peers’, not the Napoleonic type who rises on the backs of his fellows and uses his talents for purely personal advancement. In times past there have been Captains of industry of the latter mould. Personal ambition is excellent in its way but should be used in a manner which fits the group. I delve naturally into business because that is the career choice I have made and it is for this reason that I believe that the Yale MBA programme will imbue in me the qualities and traits required of a leader in business. To understand leadership for one hoping to make a career out of business it is indeed a must to first thoroughly understand the fundamentals of business. 2. A major development during the last few years has been the opening up of a number of new career opportunities in several fields. Among those that exercise a good deal of interest at present are Marketing and Sales Management, Export Marketing Advertising Public Relations and Industrial and Business communications. 3. Getting back to business leadership, there is a type of business leader who like the conductor of symphony orchestra draws music out of others and units them into a common harmony and rhythm. The conductor leader may be of two varieties, the man who leads by his strong personal influence over other or the one who seems not to exercise any personal influence but rather to see things impersonally. Both types have their values. The man with personal influence over others sees so clearly what is needed and what he himself wants that he pulls along with him. He has a magnetic personality and his `Come on Boys’ approach is followed by an enthusiastic response. 4. So understanding the essentials of leadership in any sector of world economy can only be done through teaching concepts, through corporate examples case studies and intense classroom discussions. This is also followed up by field level interactions or live case studies. Academic institutes like the Yale University are in the business of knowledge generation, knowledge dissemination and knowledge application.
