Real-World Problems that Leaders Face
The capstone leadership course of the Executive MBA program addresses practical decision-making challenges leaders face when confronting decisions alone and in groups. Students learn to recognize cognitive biases in themselves and in others and gain skills to re-calibrate group dynamics in order to achieve better results. These skills are taught experientially through participatory simulations and posthoc analyses.

Executive Communication & Presentation Skills
The UCLA Anderson Executive MBA is all about confronting business challenges head-on. For many professionals, public speaking represents a unique area of discomfort. The Executive MBA will help you hone your skills to create and deliver a top-notch persuasive pitch. You will also develop techniques for tackling difficult business conversations, including employee reviews and interventions.
If you're looking for additional opportunities to sharpen your leadership communication skills there are elective courses that focus on persuasion, thinking on your feet and negotiations.
“The impact that my MBA has had on my career has exceeded all expectations. While I obtained the degree to garner business acumen and expand my knowledge base, I underestimated how much the curriculum, and especially my professors and classmates, contributed to my understanding that health care is a complex economic activity that requires professional management. And indeed, those tools for management are exactly what I learned to utilize and wield. The Leadership Foundations course was essential to this process, in that it guided me through the process of my own individual growth as a Leader. This course gave me a space to reflect, set goals and truly grow, not just in a management capacity but as a person.”
