MBS Munich Business School

Soft Skills and Personality

Personality

The tasks facing managers in companies are continuously increasing in complexity. The successful management of future challenges requires tomorrow's leaders to not only possess high professional qualifications but also certain personality traits.

Munich Business School offers events integrated into the academic program to support students in developing their personality. These include instructions on presentation techniques, elocution, time and self-management, or on negotiation techniques. Special seminars identify the personal success potentials of participants and support these specifically.

In addition to dealing with individual potentials and skills, the students become familiar with typical structures, processes and identities in groups through projects, group seminars and role play.

Projects as Personality Training

The project orientation of studies at MBS has a significant impact on the development of personality traits which leaders must possess.

Each student handles multiple tasks in various project groups throughout the term of his studies. These teams each feature different sizes and different make-ups.

With these projects the mutual success can be influenced by the performance and dedication of each and every team member. The students therefore not only train skills such as time and self management with these projects. The experience from this intensive collaboration promotes skills such as team and conflict management, but also independence, discipline and willingness to help.

Social Responsibility

A sense of social responsibility is one of the personality traits required of future leaders. At Munich Business School it has become a good tradition for every student to participate in the planning and implementation of a social project during their first academic year. Over the past years this obligation had resulted in a great variety of initiatives and events. They range from routine visits and joint outings with the elderly or handicapped to personal support of charitable institutions and high-visibility events such as benefit galas to financially support worldwide public interest projects.

"The team work for our social project "Play soccer – get together" was just as exciting as it was intense, since it took more than four months from idea to implementation. What's actually great about the MBS social projects, however, is that they are actually implemented. It's especially motivating if we put the potentials of each individual to good use and were able to help many socially disadvantaged children."
