Embrace Complexity
Be Decisive
Manage Volume
Communicate Persuasively
At Ivey, you learn by doing. Each day, as you apply your learning, you accelerate your leadership capabilities. We call these capabilities Ivey Leadership Essentials. They are at the core of everything we do at Ivey and what truly differentiates our Ivey MBAs.
Embrace Complexity: Leadership in the real world is full of complexity. Problems dont arrive in tidy boxes labelled marketing or nance. Our cases are written with real information sometimes too much, sometimes too little so you can learn how to uncover the critical details to make a sound decision. Be Decisive: We emphasize action in all case discussions and always ask, What would you do? At Ivey, youll learn that uncertainty always exists and leaders are required to step up to the challenge and make tough decisions. Communicate Persuasively: Contribution is a required component in all courses. Youll learn how to present your ideas persuasively and defend them with condence as they are challenged by your peers and faculty. Communicating in a way thats convincing, yet diplomatic, is a core skill you develop at Ivey. Maximize Team Potential: Leadership is about identifying peoples strengths, allocating tasks accordingly and keeping your team motivated to maximize performance. The ability to coach and inspire others is a critical skill and a strong focus at Ivey. Case preparation, reports and simulations are all structured around teamwork. Manage Volume: Business demands that you have the ability to manage multiple tasks, prioritize conicting demands and perform under intense workloads. In our rigorous one-year program, youll face competing deadlines and learn to make the strategic trade-offs required to thrive in any fast-paced environment.

5. Where Youll Go
Why career planning is something we dont leave for the nal week. The MBA program you choose should share your career goals. Our mandate at Ivey has never been just to prepare you for your rst post-MBA job and be done with it. Rather, we want to give you the tools to create and navigate opportunities successfully throughout your career. Our Ivey Career Management team is ranked #1 in Canada by our prestigious recruiting partners, and theyre involved from the very beginning. In fact, your early career path exploration starts during the admission process, when our career management team participates in your application assessment. Career coaching is built right into the curriculum. Class time is devoted to the skills required to build a solid rsum, prepare for rigorous interviews, nd hidden career opportunities, network effectively and plan your career strategy. We dont hand out jobs. We provide access to exceptional coaching and knowledge you can use to launch and accelerate your career path. These days, the typical career of a young professional spans three radically different industries with eight distinct functions your career success will depend on your ability to manage this change. An Ivey MBA opens doors to an unlimited range of challenging leadership opportunities. Ivey Career Management coaching gives you the insight and career savvy you need to fully capitalize on them.
