Job Summary

The Leadership Development Office (LDO) for MBA Programs oversees a portfolio of developmental programs at the Hyde Park and downtown Chicago campuses at the Booth School of Business. This includes an experiential class (LEAD) required of all MBA students. Other program offerings for the LDO include experiential workshops and coaching to further MBA students’ leadership development. The LDO serves full-time, evening, and weekend students, and partners with colleagues to serve executive MBA students.

Each Coach plays a role in designing and managing particular programmatic offerings. Additionally, each Coach supports the full complement of programs through activities such as individual and team coaching and workshop facilitation. Finally, each Coach owns a set of administrative responsibilities necessary to the success of the LDO. Coaches are a part of a team that collectively manages all office activities.

The program of primary concern for this role is the Full-Time LEAD class. LEAD is a course that is required for all MBA candidates during their first quarter at Booth. The course itself is taught by a group of second-year MBA students (called “Facilitators”), who are selected and trained by the LDO via a lab class that we teach. Of primary concern for this role is the design and administration of that lab class, as well as management of the content presented by the Facilitators.
