The Minnesota Leadership Edge

Preparing Graduates Academically and Professionally

Among the many distinguishing marks of the Minnesota MHA Program is the Leadership Edge. The Minnesota MHA devotes considerable effort and resources to the professional development of our students, an emphasis that is especially helpful to students with limited work experience. The MHA Program, in collaboration with Langan and Flynn, LLC Human Resources and Right Management has developed the Leadership Edge, a program to accelerate the professional development and sharpen the leadership skills of MHA students.

Started in 2000, the Leadership Edge is a comprehensive program taking the participant from assessment to individual coaching. This investment in helping students transition from the classroom to the boardroom enhances the success of Minnesota graduates in competing for positions with the greatest leadership potential.

Leadership Edge Components

Student Assessment

Each student completes a series of assessment tools administered by Right Management to gauge the student's leadership qualities.

Assessment Feedback

Executive coaches from Right Management interpret the results of the survey tools in a two hour debriefing process. The student is given suggestions for furthering their leadership development and directing their career interests.

Personal Coaching

Each student is assigned a personal coach who provides three hours of one-on-one coaching on the assessment results, career counseling and networking opportunities.
