To Learn to Lead, Wharton Students Travel Far from the Classroom.
Byline: Miriam Hill
Feb. 17--Michael Useem has some unusual ways of getting Wharton M.B.A. students to unleash their inner General Pattons.
He has put them through Marine officer candidate training at Quantico, led them on treks up Mount Everest, and sent them to Gettysburg to analyze the Confederate and Union strategies. Useem says he believes that as students learn history and take turns leading hikes, they gain insight into an ability corporate America is increasingly demanding: leadership.
"These experiences drive points home in ways they will never be forgotten," said Useem, a management professor at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania.
It's a sort of Outward Bound on steroids, American Gladiators goes to business school.
