One-Year Sustainable MBA Program Asks: Do You Have a Sustainable Mindset?
Duquesne University's One-Year Sustainable MBA, among the world's top ranked programs for integrating social and environmental issues into its core, finds that this new kind of MBA often attracts a different kind of business mind
(CSRwire) PITTSBURGH, PA - April 7, 2008 - Does your brain think sustainable? Are you
wired to lead businesses and other organizations into a future of
environmental, social and economic sustainability?
Taking on a challenge this big requires more than a nimble and persistent
mind, according to Duquesne University professor Nagaraj "Naga"
Sivasubramaniam.
See if you have what's required to advance a more sustainable world.
Next-generation leaders, asked to manage new levels of complexity,
uncertainty and change, call upon these seven mindsets:
1. The Sustainability Mindset – You question rhetoric and use
data to guide decisions, take risks and predict implications across
organizational, social, political and economic landscapes.
2. The Authentic Mindset – You admit what you don't know,
fiercely insist on disclosure and display resilience in dealing with
setbacks.
3. The Collective Mindset – You can build the collective capacity
of teams and organizations. You negotiate effectively to implement change,
and mobilize others through clear communication and strong advocacy.
4. The Global Impact Mindset – You understand the influences and
impacts of the global economy. You also anticipate how new developments in
natural and social sciences will intersect with sustainability.
5. The Analytical Mindset – You can apply business theories and
relevant data to solve complex business problems.
6. The Holistic Mindset – You use a big-picture view of
organizations to frame and critically analyze ill-defined problems and map
out the cause/effect relationships of social systems.
7. The Creative Mindset– You can synthesize seemingly independent
pieces of information, adapt and deal with new problems.
Learn more about how developing these skills and traits as part of a
rigorous MBA degree can prepare you to lead the world into a sustainable
future.
