More than two decades ago, the Kellogg School revolutionized business education when it introduced its team concept – a model that has been duplicated in business schools worldwide. The school is renowned for producing well-rounded graduates who are excellent team players. Kellogg aims to enhance the student’s team skills to become exceptional team and organizational leaders.

Projects for this initiative include:

• Self Assessment Evaluation Test will be administered to all incoming first year students and will allow them to benchmark and trace their improvement in 36 leadership traits during their time at Kellogg.
  
• Workshops will allow students to develop leadership skills in accordance with their self assessment results.
  
• Student-Run Conferences allow students to put their leadership skills to use by organizing and running a high profile conference featuring business leaders and alumni.
  
• Quarterly forums bring current business and political topics to the forefront giving students a chance to step back and think through the implications of world events on business.

These projects will help Kellogg harness the energy of students, faculty and staff for the greater benefit of the school. This model is designed to transfer classroom/study group experiences to peer leadership in the workplace.
