What skills are required to be a business leader? Companies seek out candidates who are organized, passionate about their organization, lead by example, know how to delegate, communicate honestly and effectively, are responsible and take ownership, and listen well to others.
Becoming successful in business involves learning these essential leadership skills, something EU Business School, an international, professionally accredited business school, excels in and includes in its curriculum.
“EU stands out for its pragmatic and hands-on approach to business education,” said Carl Craen, Vice President and Managing Director of EU Business School. “We use case studies, business simulations, group work and discussion to ensure that students gain practical experience and the business skillset they need to succeed in the international business world. Moreover, top working executives regularly visit EU to give master classes and provide students with real examples of how business is undertaken in companies today.”
Many of EU’s 27,000 alumni work in some of the largest global corporations, such as Google, Sony, Amazon, and Ernst & Young, and are based all over the world.
“Through interaction with peers and faculty alike, students gain multicultural understanding, which is essential in today’s globalized business world,” said Craen.
With campuses in Barcelona, Geneva, Montreux, Munich, and online, EU Business School offers English-taught foundation, bachelor’s, master’s, and MBA programs in subjects that foster entrepreneurship, innovation and leadership, and are highly sought-after by businesses. These include, among others, business administration, communication and public relations, international business, digital business, sports management, marketing, finance, and enterprise.
Students find themselves engaged in real-world business environments through company visits and guest speaker events, gaining insights into how companies really work, and thereby giving them a competitive edge in today’s fast-paced business world.
