All of the cohorts going into the program were successful, type-A, high-achieving leaders in their respective fields, ready to contribute and unafraid to voice their opinions. Initially, my team spent such a significant amount of time discussing the group assignments that we were submitting them in the final moments before the deadlines. We quickly realized this was extraordinarily ineffective and decided to assign team leads for each assignment. Rotating the leadership role gave us the opportunity to experience different strategies and management styles we could use to achieve our goal. Fuqua’s culture stresses that leaders are only successful if the team is successful, but to actually experience this was a life-changing realization for me.
