Vermont Business Consultant Advises International MBA Program

Vermont-based organizational consultant Dale Guldbrandsen recently gave the keynote address to over 100 first-year students at American University's International MBA Student Preparation program. The Manchester, Vt. executive addressed the group on Aug. 22 in
Washington D.C. His presentation, 'The Master Navigator: Leveraging Leadership," guided the new business students on the principles of leadership and corporate ethics, a timely topic amidst the ongoing corporate ethics crisis. His program focused on the importance of achieving clarity of thought and purpose as the business students prepare for careers in international business.
Guldbrandsen guided the students through a focused examination of executive principles and values. He led them through an analysis of "True
North" principles that link personal and corporate values and culture as the basis of effective leadership. He emphasized the importance of teamwork and collaboration in the corporate culture. The nearly two-hour session concluded with hands-on, breakout discussion groups where the students worked collaboratively to define their visions as MBA students and future business leaders.
