MBA Leadership Development Programs Reports

Another year is behind us, and the time has come to publish our annual ranking (8th edition!) of the most popular programs among MBAs from around the world, the 2022 Ranking of MBA Development Programs!

In the last two years, Covid has impacted student priorities relating to career development. This has been reflected in their decision making when it comes to LDP vs just-in-time hiring positions, and the job security that is related to it. Most recently, and as things with the pandemic have been calming down, the LDP employers have been reporting various challenges, such as attracting the right talent and more candidates not accepting the offers. When it comes to the MBAs, it has been reported that the possibility to work from home is one of the key factors for accepting LDP offers.

We hope this report will help you gain a better understanding of student interest in the various Leadership Development Programs.If you are looking for more market intelligence, candidate insights, or an individual LDP competitiveness, please do reach out!

In the meantime, we invite you to attend our upcoming 4th annual virtual LDP Career Forum (Fall ‘22) where you can increase the visibility of your programs and engage live with top candidates from our 100+ top business schools

We hope you enjoy the read of this year’s Ranking!
