(MBA) 360 Degree Feedback Survey for someone joining ISB
I did someone's "evaluation" for admission into ISB (actually the person has already got admission so this is somewhat less critical).
One of the questions was: "To sum up, what advice would you have for this individual on becoming more effective as a leader?". Now, the person in question is a very soft-spoken, unaggressive, person (as far as I can see -- I could be wrong), so here's what I wrote:
My answer: as an MBA, he may be called upon to take decisions that he will later have to defend (like perhaps why he voted a certain way in a certain board meeting ;-) Even if he's right, he has to be able to defend his stance against more outspoken people. Defending himself if he's actually wrong could be the next step.
:-)
B-schools don't teach ethics anyway, so hopefully they have at least developed a thick skin...
