Dr. Jost Sieweke - Program Director Executive MBA Leading with Purpose

Dr. Jost Sieweke, Program Director of the Executive MBA at Vrije Universiteit, and students of the program discuss the Executive MBA and its greatest takeaways.

Many MBA participants are experts in their business area. For instance, the VU MBA has people in the program with more than 10 years of experience in marketing or finance. However, they learn quite a lot from being forced to think about the organization as a whole. That is exactly what strategic leaders in organizations have to do. They need to understand that silos prevent the organization from achieving its goals. The business simulation is a great tool that helps us to teach this holistic perspective.
