MISSION
STATEMENT
Lake Forest Graduate School of Management is comprised of:
Our accredited graduate school that offers a Master of Business education degree and Graduate Certificate in Strategic Leadership; and The Lake Forest Center for Leadership, which delivers professional development opportunities to leaders at all levels.
Together, we share a mission to bring the real world to business education and leadership development.
Our mission is to bring the real world to business education and leadership development. We believe that great leaders change lives, organizations, and society for the better. Our charge is to cultivate and liberate these unique individuals.
Fulfilling this mission requires a fresh and distinctive approach – one that is rooted in the realities of business and isn’t afraid to challenge tradition. The foundation is a community of business executives who come together to share their experience to help others grow. It embodies a different attitude and mindset including:
- A deep commitment, rooted in caring, to put clients, their teams, and our students first.
- A view that the relationships we build are for the long term, not transactional.
- A culture that is nimble and continuously adapts and innovates to deliver great value to all we serve.
- A deep understanding of how adults learn and how organizations can leverage learning to drive strategic change.
We value an environment that fosters belonging, embraces diversity of background, and encourages diversity of thought. Through our safe, positive, and inclusive community, we develop and deliver learning experiences to help unleash the potential of leaders.
