Executive Coaching for Career Enhancement of Senior MBA Awarded Managers
by Sylvia Pavlova (Bulgaria)
In the first article we got to focus on the four essential dimensions along which senior MBA awarded managers effectuate the change of their life following the award of their MBA degree. Given those four dimensions, we got to articulate 5 hypotheses introducing the most frequent cases of change.
Now, therefore, we want to have a close look upon each one of these hypotheses.
Hypothesis 1: Following a comfortable long experience within a particular functional area / such as, for example, accountancy, human resources, etc, you end up feeling like that is not exactly your area. As such, you would want to shift into an entirely new area.
Should you happen to find yourself in this situation, you will inevitably run into one of the most widely spread employers’ presumptions, which does not stoop to change.
Every position calls for people backed up with previous experience in that same functional area. However impressive the graduation certificate you may produce in proof of your excellent fit to that functional area which happens to be new to you, it is a fat chance that you stand of getting in for a higher position in the hierarchy as compared to your current position
