Abstract: For many years, educators have tried to modify master of business administration (MBA) curricula to better prepare students for professional careers. Success in this endeavor may require educators to focus on a well-defined set of business-relevant skills. In this study, the authors examined the impact of a skillsbased course on leadership coaching. Students who had completed an MBA-level coaching course responded to a survey that asked them to rank the extent to which learning occurred on the skills objectives of the course. They also reported on their use of the techniques beyond the classroom. The results strongly supported this approach as an effective way to prepare professional business leaders.
