or more than 200 years, the University of Michigan has been committed to developing students who exemplify the “leaders and best.” Nowhere on campus is that commitment more evident than at the University of Michigan Ross School of Business’ Sanger Leadership Center, whose mission is to build a more connected, creative, and prosperous world, one leader at a time.

Established in January 2015 through an endowed gift from Stephen W. Sanger, MBA ’70, and his wife Karen, the Sanger Leadership Center at Michigan Ross is a hub for leadership development across the entire U-M campus, with dynamic programs, resources, and learning communities serving all students. Sanger’s innovative, actionbased programming empowers students to learn leadership by practicing leadership and is designed to meet the demands of the ever-changing world of work.

During the 2018-2019 Academic Year, the Sanger Leadership Center launched impactful new programs to better integrate Sanger’s offerings into the Ross experience, including enhanced orientation programming for both BBAs and MBAs, partnerships with professors to embed leadership development into course content, and a pilot coaching initiative, while at the same time maintaining excellence in established programs and operations. A glance at the numbers clearly illustrates Sanger’s tremendous impact over the last year: • • • • •

Orientation Programming

t Michigan Ross, leadership means more than knowing how to take charge. It also means discovering who you want to be, what you want to accomplish in life, and how to get the most out of your Ross experience. That process starts at orientation, where students at all levels begin their Ross journey with Sanger-run programs designed to introduce them to the leadership skills they’ll need to succeed at Ross—and beyond.

Full-Time MBA Orientation Programming The Sanger Leadership Center worked closely with the Michigan Ross MBA Program Office to offer several key leadership development programs as part of orientation for the Full-Time MBA Class of 2020: a workshop introducing the Michigan Model of Leadership, a redesigned two-day Business+Impact Challenge, and a capstone session that encouraged students to create a vision for their MBA studies.

Finally, because new experiences and learning lead to change and growth, for the first time ever Sanger held a “Re-Orientation” for MBA2s with the goal of helping students recalibrate their individual priorities and plans as they headed into their final year at Ross.

MAcc & MSCM Business+Impact Challenge Master of Accounting (MAcc) and Master of Supply Chain Management (MSCM) students kicked off their Ross experience with a fast-paced, oneday Business+Impact Challenge of their own as part of orientation. Sanger partnered with Michigan Ross Enriching Academics in Collaboration with High Schools (MREACH) to challenge MAcc and MSCM students to design the culminating event of the MREACH program. As Challenge participants learned, the goal of this event was threefold: to prepare high school students for college, to foster personal capabilities and “realworld” skills, and to increase awareness of MREACH programs within the Ross community.

Most notably, the 2018 Business+Impact Challenge featured Amazon as a corporate partner and challenged students to answer the question, “How might Amazon leverage its products, services, and technology to support Ross students enthusiastically tackled the Challenge, creating innovative post-disaster recovery and build resilience in local communities and small concepts and prototypes that they presented to a panel of Ross faculty businesses?” and MREACH staff and alumnae. The winning teams went on to design and implement their proposed event at the conclusion of the 2018-2019 Over the course of two days, students met with subject matter experts MREACH Academic Year. from FEMA, the American Red Cross, and U-M faculty (among others); adopted roles based on the Michigan Model; and learned directly from After the Challenge, participants were extremely positive, noting actionAmazon employees embedded in each team.

Students, too, found (previously called Innovation Jam) returned for its fourth year in May the Challenge to be an excellent start to their Ross experience; here’s 2019. Once again, Sanger partnered with Ross alumni at Amazon on the what two of them had to say: Challenge, which tasked students with developing solutions to a realworld corporate challenge at the intersection of business and society.

Sanger Student Experiences

he Sanger Leadership Center offers a number of action-based student learning experiences designed to develop leaders with the character and capabilities needed to thrive in today’s dynamic world of work. Please read on for programming highlights from the 20182019 Academic Year:

Leadership Crisis Challenge With the generous support of PNC Bank and General Motors, Sanger’s Leadership Crisis Challenge (LCC) gave students the opportunity to role-play as members of a company’s senior executive team as they navigated through a high-stakes, high-pressure simulated crisis scenario over a 24-hour period. The LCC tested students’ ability to strategize, manage uncertainty, work with diverse individuals, and develop executive presence—all important aspects of leadership development. New for 2019, the LCC included students from HEC Paris and DePauw, two institutions that have or will start their own Challenge, and was run on a new, proprietary platform developed in partnership with the Ford School of Public Policy and the U-M Office of Academic Innovation.

As in previous years, two LCC events were held: a January event for graduate students and a March event for undergraduate students.

Graduate Challenge: January 10-11, 2019. In this year’s Graduate Challenge, students took on the roles of C-suite executives of the fictitious Polaris Cruise Lines, which faced the possibility that one of its ships might be responsible for a toxic algae bloom in Biscayne Bay that devastated the local ecosystem and tourism economy. Over the course of 24 hours, students faced a number of escalating challenges: a major advertising partner threatening to jump ship, an anonymous employee leaking damaging claims to the press, an ambush by hostile protesters and demanding reporters, an online petition demanding Polaris take complete fiscal responsibility, an internal investigation concluding a particular Polaris employee was most likely responsible, and a subpoena in response to a lawsuit filed against the company.

Student teams responded by presenting the Polaris Board of Directors (played by 25 business leaders, including several Ross alumni) with a detailed action plan and facing a press corps featuring Knight-Wallace Journalism Fellows from The New York Times, CNN, and a number of other national outlets.

More than 185 students participated in this year’s Graduate Challenge, a record number, and nearly all them were exceptionally positive about their experience: • 99% of students agreed or strongly agreed, “The action-oriented format was conducive to my learning.”

• 98% of students agreed or strongly agreed, “I gained insights and skills about strategic thinking and decisions that impact competing stakeholders.”

• 97% of students agreed or strongly agreed, “I gained insights and skills about navigating uncertainty and ambiguity.”

• 96% of students agreed or strongly agreed, “I will apply insights and skills I gained to develop as a leader.”

• 95% of students agreed or strongly agreed, “I gained relevant leadership skills and insights.”

Here’s what one graduate student had to say about the Challenge: “One of the best experiences I had during my MBA. It is incredible how much I learned in less than 24 hours. I now have a better appreciation for C-executive teams. You should not leave Ross without experiencing the LCC.” Undergraduate Challenge: March 28-29, 2019. In this year’s Undergraduate Challenge, a record-setting 239 students—a 90% increase over the previous year—learned they were now members of an executive team facing a crisis at fictitious AguaClara Global Beverages. A pending class-action lawsuit implicated AguaClara in the contamination of an aquifer, which sickened several residents of Minot, North Dakota, including six infants who were hospitalized. In addition, throughout the night and into the next morning, student teams learned that the company’s heir was a recent subject of a negative profile describing his “overly lavish lifestyle,” one of the hospitalized infants died from symptoms related to the contamination, and rumors abounded of a potential conspiracy between AguaClara and the Governor.

Following a high-pressure presentation to the Board of Directors and a press conference, the Challenge winner was announced: a team of students from Michigan Ross, the Ford School of Public Policy, and Michigan Engineering.

Undergraduate students’ assessment of their learning from the Challenge was remarkably similar to that of graduate students: at least 92% agreed or strongly agreed with each of the feedback statements presented in the Graduate Challenge section. Here’s how two undergraduate students, the first from Ross and the second from LSA, described their experience: “The Crisis Challenge is something else. You read about examples in cases, but what about living them? More than a class presentation or a consulting case, the Crisis Challenge is living the situation as the person whose entire company is at risk, but has the ability and resources to respond.”

“My take-away is that not all problems have a clear-cut solution, and it’s never a bad idea to think outside of the box and get really creative with your solutions. I was so glad to have participated in this competition, and I’m proud of myself for stepping out of my comfort zone.”

Story Lab To be an effective leader, you must be able to communicate with impact. Story Lab teaches students to craft and deliver a meaningful story in the rich language and expressive style of a seasoned storyteller.

Due to the incredible demand for Story Lab programming, Sanger doubled the number of Story Lab retreats in 2018-2019, offering four opt-in retreats serving 140 student participants. What’s more, 120 Weekend MBAs participated in a Story Lab retreat as part of their Leadership Capstone course.

The highlight of Story Lab programming was the series of Ross Diaries, live “Moth-style” storytelling events. Approximately 1,400 students, staff, faculty, and community members attended the four Ross Diaries events in 2018-2019. New this year, everyone who registered for a public storytelling event was surveyed afterward. Of those Ross Diaries’ attendees polled, 98100% said they agreed or strongly agreed that Story Lab is a valuable experience. Student participants also found the Story Lab experience uniquely valuable, and here’s what two of them said about the program: “Story Lab is a must for every student before graduating from Ross. Communication is obviously key to influencing others, but how ideas are communicated is just as important as what is actually said. Story Lab gave me the tools to be a powerful communicator, and I can’t wait for the next opportunity to practice my storytelling skills.”

“The Story Lab retreat was such a unique experience at Ross—an event that so strongly emphasizes empathy and vulnerability in a way that is so important to not just being an MBA but to being a human being. Sometimes with all the chaos of business school, it’s easy to forget how essential those elements are to our well-being.”

Other Sanger Opt-In Programs Michigan students had exciting opportunities to opt in to a variety of other Sanger Leadership Center experiences: Go Blue Rendezvous (GBR) 2019. Go Blue Rendezvous is a special event for admitted MBA students that gives them the opportunity to see first-hand what it would be like to be a student at Michigan Ross.

As part of GBR 2019, Sanger partnered with students from the Design + Business Club to lead a session titled “Designing Your Business School Experience.” Participants reflected on what they wanted to get out of their time at business school, met new people, and developed action steps for achieving their goals.

Michigan Model of Leadership Workshops. These interactive 90-minute workshops are offered to any group of students or employees on the U-M campus, and 854 people chose to participate in a Legacy Lab workshop last year. They learned to define leadership using the Michigan Legacy Lab is a series of two workshops in which both graduate and Model; identified their strengths and weaknesses in relation to the model; undergraduate students from across U-M deepen their self-awareness learned strategies for navigating and balancing these tensions; and began and understanding of their core values in a way that informs their careers. to formulate an action plan to increase their leadership effectiveness.

Workshop participants craft their life purpose and vision, clarify their values, and experiment with new ways of acting and leading. Due to 1:1 Coaching. New for Academic Year 2018-2019, 1:1 Coaching high demand, Legacy Lab was offered three times during the 2018-2019 provides a personalized development experience designed to advance Academic Year, and 134 students participated in one of the three sessions. students’ leadership skills through one or more one-on-one sessions with a trained coach around a challenge or topic the students bring. The goal Students found the Legacy Lab program impactful: in both fall workshops, of coaching is to increase students’ personal satisfaction and fulfillment 100% of students agreed or strongly agreed that 1) they gained relevant by helping them learn to be leaders in both work and life. Over the course leadership skills and insights by participating in Legacy Lab, and 2) they of the year, 29 students received coaching in 61 coaching sessions. Of will apply the insights and skills they gained to develop as a leader. One those students completing a post-coaching survey, 100% agreed or participant noted: strongly agreed they gained important insights, capabilities, and support through the program. As one student put it: “Legacy Lab is all about finding yourself and focusing on what really matters to you. It was an amazing experience.”

“The coaching I received from Silke has been incredible. She is very experienced and has many tools in her pockets. Most importantly, she is a very good observer who can pick up the weakest clues from my talks and behaviors and help me better understand myself.”

Learning Communities

he Sanger Leadership Center facilitates two year-long learning communities, Ross Leaders Academy and Leader Experience, for students who want to immerse themselves in a deep and highly personalized leadership development experience with a set of diverse but like-minded peers.

Leader Experience (LDRx) Leader Experience (LDRx) is a student-led and Sanger-supported learning community for both graduate and undergraduate students at Ross. As part of LDRx, students practice self-reflection, build trust in their peers, learn from experience and feedback, and develop strong networks.

Participants meet once per week with a small group of peers and follow a flexible, discussion-based curriculum.

The Sanger team pushed me to think outside of my comfort zone and take on new perspectives, developing skills to deal with uncertainties in the future.

“However, the most incredible part of this journey was being surrounded by like-minded students from such diverse backgrounds—it truly was inspiring to interact with a group of people so committed to self-improvement, personal growth, and giving back to the community.”

Classroom Integration

eyond its impactful extracurricular programming, the Sanger Leadership Center also plays an integral role in both core and elective courses for undergraduate and graduate students at Michigan Ross.

Business Administration 200 BA 200: Businesses & Leaders is the core business administration course taken by all 650+ BBA sophomores in the fall. Last year, Sanger’s Managing Director Brian Flanagan joined the teaching faculty to develop and deliver a new leadership curriculum within the course. As a result, more than a quarter of class time was devoted to leadership development. Students learned about the importance of empathy, drive, integrity, and courage in leadership while working to enhance their self-awareness and develop a personal vision.

All 650+ students also participated in Sanger’s Michigan Model of Leadership workshop, learning the ins and outs of the model and its implications for practice. During the course’s closing celebration, Associate Dean Norman Bishara used the Michigan Model of Leadership and the four leadership class periods to describe the entire arc of the class.

unit, working directly with executives of a sponsoring company and learning under the supervision of faculty advisors.

For the second year, Sanger was invited to integrate leadership development into the course, supporting the students as they learned Living Business Leadership Experience (LBLE) from real-life leadership experiences. In both the fall and winter semesters, LBLE is an innovative elective course at Ross for both graduate and upper- the Sanger team ran three one-hour sessions to facilitate the teams’ goal level undergraduate students. LBLE offers students the opportunity to setting, reflection, after-action review, and peer feedback while teaching establish and lead a functional team in an actual operational business vital lessons about how students can effectively lead teams in the future.

Campus Outreach

he Sanger Leadership Center also had a number of successes in the area of campus outreach during Academic Year 2018-2019, expanding its presence across the university and increasing its brand awareness.

Student Ambassador Program Sanger launched its first-ever student ambassador program, in which more than 20 MBA, BBA, and other students from across U-M opted in to help spread the word about Sanger in classrooms, at tabling events, and in their clubs. The student ambassadors also helped support the Leadership Crisis Challenge, where they worked behind the scenes to help create the crisis scenario, update social media accounts, and serve as room hosts for alumni judges. The program was very successful, and Sanger plans to recruit additional ambassadors.

Sanger Blogs Sanger staff and students authored 19 original blogs on leadership, with topics ranging from quarterly book reviews to Alaskan leadership adventures to finding purpose through participating in Sanger programs.

Blogs can be read on the Sanger website.

Brand Study Sanger completed its second biennial brand study consisting of focus groups and a quantitative survey. The study compared student awareness, attitudes, and beliefs about the Sanger Leadership Center between 2017 and 2019. Notable findings included: • Brand awareness has skyrocketed. Students were significantly more familiar with Sanger in 2019 than they were in 2017, with 81% of MBAs and 30% of BBAs saying they were extremely/very familiar with Sanger, as compared to 56% and 18% respectively in 2017.

• Familiarity with nearly every Sanger program increased for both MBAs and BBAs. The programs with the most growth in familiarity were Story Lab, LDRx, and RLA. The Leadership Crisis Challenge remains one of the most recognizable Sanger programs.

• Students are significantly more likely to participate in another Sanger program once they’ve participated in their first.

• Students in focus groups asked for more touchpoints to learn and practice leadership. The Sanger team will be looking at its programs and outreach to meet this need in the next year and beyond.

Moving Forward

Sanger Leadership Center enters its fifth year at Michigan Ross, the Sanger team has identified three Askeythepriorities that will guide the Center’s work moving forward: 1. Maintain Sanger’s High Standard of Excellence: Sanger will continue to run many of its most impactful current programs, including the Business+Impact Challenge, Ross Leaders Academy, LDRx, Story Lab, Legacy Lab, and the Leadership Crisis Challenge. To drive learning and growth, Sanger is reconstituting the project teams supporting each of these programs, with an eye toward balancing continuity and change, while installing new team leads for Legacy Lab and the Leadership Crisis Challenge. This strategy is an investment in learning and critical for maintaining both a high level of excellence across programs and forward momentum.

2. Build on Successful Integration into the Ross Experience: In an effort to better integrate Sanger programming into the Michigan Ross experience, the team launched a number of “experiments” in areas such as orientation programming, required courses, and popular elective courses like the Living Business Leadership Experience. The team learned a great deal from these efforts and will work to build on its learning while also seeking to run new experiments as part of MAP, Go Blue Rendezvous, and other signature Ross experiences.

3. Prepare for Significant Innovations: Sanger welcomed Faculty Director Lindy Greer to the team in June 2019. Lindy joined Ross as Associate Professor of Management and Organizations, having served most recently on the business faculty at Stanford. She is a rising star in the field, having been recently named a Top 40 Under 40 Business School Professor, and she’s already having an impact at Sanger. The team will be working this year to craft a 2025 vision, while running a number of pilot initiatives. Stay tuned!

Thanks to generous support from Steve and Karen Sanger, the Sanger Leadership Center continues to thrive, providing challenging and transformative experiences that develop students into leaders for business and society.
