Duke University, Durham, NC
The Vision to achieve.
To develop Duke MBA graduates
who exemplify the strongest qualities
of leadership and character,
including self-awareness, ethical and
global sensitivity, and personal courage.
To develop Duke MBA graduates: We help to produce the “Fuqua brand” of leader. This leader is someone who…
… exemplifies the strongest qualities of leadership and character: It’s not enough to “know” a good leader; Duke MBAs should grow to be models of effective leadership.
… grows in self-awareness: Reflective practitioner who is self-regulated, goal-directed and a life-long learner.
… demonstrates ethical and global sensitivity: perceptive of ethical issues and embraces diversity and inclusiveness.
… acts courageously: Principled leaders who approach issues intentionally and take appropriate values-based action.
The Mission to get us there.
To prepare Fuqua students for successful leadership by:
- Motivating First-Years to actively engage in personal leadership development,
- Equipping First-Year teams to develop collaborative leadership skills,
- Collaborating with partners to strengthen a leadership-centered culture and curriculum, and
- Modeling the principles and values of an ethical and courageous leader.
