这学期选了必选的选修课--领导学（晕了），本来没抱啥大希望而且第一次就逃课了。星期二去上课的时候，真的让老师给雷到了。我差一点以为这是EQ训练加家庭关系调节课了。不过这也是目前为止为数不多让我在几个小时的课上全程笑倒的。几个小时，都围绕EQ管理展开，无数的小CASE摆在大家面前，还是有点小收获的。特别是关于管理别人的方法：赞赏和认可，这是恐怕是目前所有“领导”都有待提高的。我迄今为止有幸碰到过一两个有强烈appreciation意识的头头，跟这种人干活，从来不会去计较报酬的多少（压根就没时间去想这些问题），工作时干劲十足（用同事的话说好象打了鸡血），而且办公室的工作氛围极度良好。

 

可巧今天看到一篇Warren Bennis的专访，里面他说：领导力跟营销课完全不一样。这门课是关于人生的。这门课是关于你想要什么。这是关于你的目的是什么，什么能带给你最大的幸福，影响和福利。你想造福于谁？你想有什么样的影响？什么能使你快乐，过上好生活？这些要回答的问题是这门课的内容。然后他说，一个中层经理是否成为领导者，或就做个管理者，需要想清楚他要什么，比如需要多少钱，想要多大的影响，想造福于谁，主观幸福是什么？然后再考虑为什么要成为领导者，为什么不。关于伟大领导者的共性，他总结了五点：激情，适应能力，尊重，知道自己是谁，还有勇气。看似简单的五个方面，细细想来自己欠缺的，火候把握不住的还不少。好在我目前的目标也不是如何成为一个leader，这些慢慢去培养积累吧，先把我们家给lead好再说。

 

 

 

 

Recently I did a research on UK/US/PRC's MBA programs. I want to start Master Degree study either late next year or early 2008. After comparing, I found that top universities in UK/US normally don't have real distance learning MBA programs, some US top universities have partnership with PRC universities, but those programs are required full-time study. Some second-class UK/US universities offered distance learning, but generally speaking they are expensive (more than 100k RMB) and they required Bachelor degree and TOFEL/GMAT results to prove your language ability.

 

For PRC Universities, the results are stated below:

 

First: IMBA

IMBA refers to International MBA. Students can receive Master Degree from both international and domestic universities. However, this is rather expensive (from 200k-4000k).

 

Second: EMBA

EMBA refers to Executive MBA. This is designed for management level students and the price is around 200k-300k.

 

Third: MBA
In PRC, there are full-time and part-time MBA programs. CEIBS (China-Europ International Business School) is one of the best business schools in PRC. It ranks No. 21 among the full-time business schools all over the world in 2006 (by Financial Times). But the shortage is it only has full-time program. For part-time MBA programs, Peking University's IMBA and MBA are the best ones. But these programs' prices are much higher than other universities. The price for domestic MBA program ranged from 30k-70k (I mainly searched for universities in Beijing). The advantage for domestic part-time MBA programs is that students have bacholor diploma/college degree with certain years of working experience could apply. After taking the entrace exam and passed the interview, they can be enrolled in the programs. In addtion, there are two exams every year, January and October. If students pass January exam, they will not only receive the Master degree but also obtain the graduation certificate upon graduation while the October exam only can received the Master degree. My personal feeling is master degree is "good enough" (quoted my colleague's word).

 

Forth: MBA Diploma

Some universities offerred master diploma (研修班结业证) courses. But I feel this kind of diploma is not accredited.
