Cornell's Johnson Graduate School of Management

All top business schools today are looking for leaders. This is so important to us at Cornell's Johnson School that we now offer two-year, full-tuition MBA fellowships for up to twenty-five of the U.S.'s most outstanding young leaders.

But how do admissions directors identify leaders? At the Johnson School, we consider the following:

A consistent pattern of taking initiative and engendering change. Consistency is key; the best leaders are constantly surveying their environment to see how they can make it better, wherever they are.

Balance. In addition to a solid record of academic and professional achievements, leaders also have a variety of activities they are involved in outside of school or work.

Comfort taking calculated risks. Leaders are not afraid to take an occasional, well-thought-out chance.

A genuine desire to leave a legacy that lasts beyond their involvement in an organization. The best leaders manage to involve other people in their activities such that their legacy lives on.
