Western MBA 1980 Five Years Out Trailer mp4

I think the common experience of working through this extremely demanding program and working through it in groups produces relationships and friendships that last people throughout their entire management career. You see an interesting thing happening at reunions, uh, in this school when people come back 10 years later.

There is not a whole series of encounters of getting reacquainted; people have a fairly good familiarity with what has happened to their classmates over time. They've often been in contact with them on a fairly regular basis. Those people who were in a section together in the MBA one year remain a very cohesive tight group.

When they come back, it's almost like you're revisiting a party in the MBA one year. There’s lots of cohesiveness, lots of friendship, uh, lots of togetherness that happens. So the relationships continue throughout a person's entire business career, and I think that's one of the real strengths of the program.

There really is a fraternity among Western grads. You know, they tend to stick together. You know, you go into for a job interview and somebody knows somebody that graduated with you or some, it's just a very, very close fraternity. They all seem to stick together, and they have something in common; they all went through the same sort of war to get it, you know?

It just seems to be there. You know, I don't know. I see it here tonight. I ran into some people earlier today that were ’65 grads. I had nothing in common with them; you know, I was 20 years different or 15 years difference, and yet they seem to, you know, relate to me, and I seem to relate to them. We had the same sort of experience together.

You know, what we're trying to do is we're trying to converge on the student, the participant, his or her development with the technology we have, with the cases we have, with the total program that we're trying to achieve. Because our end goal is to be a more effective manager.

If you give up on yourself, sort of saying, "I'm never going to be able to learn this," then you're defeating your purpose. I think going into the MBA, I felt fairly uh confident. The first four months of the MBA, I felt totally inadequate. Coming out of the MBA, I felt great.

Looking at myself now, five years uh out of it, I feel I have a solid background. I feel very self-confident. I have no difficulty uh talking to um clients on whatever their needs are. So I think it did a lot for me.
