Lecturers should project an aura of inquiry, discovery and a love for learning. Academic staff cannot be sages on the stage anymore. It is advisable to rather transform into being guides on the side.

Students are not being equipped to engage critically at the senior level and as a result, employers worldwide agree that MBA graduates are unable to take part in the business of the boardroom. It is suggested that business schools can no longer rely on an approach where students simply absorb information, or mererly are required to explain case studies. Intellectual skills – the ability to argue and think – are essential for business students. Business schools should adopt an integrated approach in their education and support students on a personal develpoment journey, not just in leadership but also in an intellectual sense. To develop into leaders who are influential at senior level, students need to acquire the ability to criticise and argue, formulate their own arguments and perceive the world as an ambiguous place instead of a single reality.
