At LIBA, the faculty believes that what should drive students at the deepest level should be what could be called “hungers” or “desires,” which will motivate and inspire their idealism and hope. LIBA encourages students at all levels to view business leadership as a capacity for service to others, particularly those who are marginalised and the common good.
LIBA aims to provide the students with the capacity to survive in today’s volatile economy, but students must also crave integral human development, that is, the development of the individual as a whole, which we refer to as care for the person (Cura Personalis). In this VUCA world, LIBA supports students to develop various key competencies for a new kind of leadership that will embrace uncertainty and ambiguity as an opportunity and respond with creative learning skills, the adept use of technology, confident communication and collaborative learning as vital competencies for enabling positive change.
