While no one doubts that leadership skills are an important component of becoming a successful manager, the Hull College MBA students go beyond learning about leadership in their Managerial Leadership: Professional and Personal Development classroom. In their Managerial Leadership class, they are engaging the business community to assist with their learning. The course introduces students to the theoretical foundations of leadership while studying and defining personal leadership styles in the community. Professor Cathy Slade reinforces experiential education by encouraging service learning projects with local non-profit organizations. “At the Hull College, we know that there is nothing more challenging than leading a voluntary or non-profit organization- the resources are often limited and the needs of the constituents and stakeholders are always great,” explains Slade.
