FOR THE CHOSEN EXECUTIVE

Education is a life long process, and if you are a professional going up the corporate ladder, executive education programs such as executive training programs and leadership courses are a good way to ensure your way to the top.

Executive education programs are offered by Ivy League schools as post graduate courses. These executive programs may be offered as certificate courses or master’s and doctorate programs.

These executive education programs are not easy to get into. There are very strict requirement before you can qualify for top executive programs. Some of the general requirements are the following: specific number of years of relevant work experience, submission of letters of recommendation, a minimum grade point average, and the passing of a rigorous entrance exam. Depending on the school, some other requirements may be asked.

Given these requirements, not everyone will qualify for executive education programs. That is why to qualify for Ivy League executive education programs is an honor all by itself.

LEADERSHIP EDUCATION

The main focus of executive education programs is leadership training. The professionals under this program are expected to assume key leadership positions in their respective companies, if they are not already holding such positions. Most executive education programs focus on giving professionals the skills that they need to be able to handle subordinates under their wing and to be able to make crucial decisions that can have huge consequences on the company.

The burden of responsibility – that is what top level executives and would be executive officials must deal with everyday. As a leader in a company, they are expected to direct the business towards sustained growth. As such, it can be a very difficult position to be in, because you are not only responsible for yourself but for the people under you as well. As an executive, you make decisions that can change lives and make or break businesses. And you should well be prepared for it.
