Master's in Management and Leadership Outcomes
Upon completion of the Master's in management and leadership program, graduates may secure mid-to upper-level management positions in various industries such as healthcare, distribution or logistics, manufacturing, not-for-profit, state or local government, and service industries such as banking, insurance, and real estate. Studies suggest that effective leaders possess task- and relationship-oriented skills and demonstrate active participation.
While a leader may emerge from a group of loyal followers, it takes a special set of skills to create and maintain structure within an organization, while also motivating the team to succeed and working alongside subordinates to achieve shared goals. A strong leader prioritizes the needs of the team, and a successful leader ensures that all members remain focused on the task at hand. Therefore, leadership and followership are complementary, and a successful leader needs to possess specific qualities that enable them to inspire, motivate, and guide their team toward success.
Upon completion of the Master's in management and leadership program, graduates are ready to lead teams and organizations in a rapidly changing global business environment, with a deep understanding of management principles and the ability to inspire and motivate their teams toward achieving organizational goals.

Management, Organizational Leadership Concentration, M.S.
There will always be a need for effective leaders, those who have the vision to see farther down the road than most others. Most workers are concerned with doing a good job and being thought of as a competent team member. The leader of an organization is less concerned about his or her individual performance and more concerned about the enterprise's direction and the team's ability to work together to fulfill both the mission and the vision.
