altMBA Rising Talent
Leadership is a skill and a choice. It's not something you're given, it's a habit you learn.
Visionary companies don’t just demand the best talent—they create it in the altMBA.
Successful Fortune 500’s choose altMBA to fuel growth, inspire leaders, and grow a culture to promote from within. For five years, the altMBA has taught leaders at Apple, Amazon, Facebook, Google, WalMart, Coca Cola, the breakthrough new method to manage rapid workforce change, innovate inside their organizations, and lead at a whole new level.
Leaders are made, not born.
Doing altMBA during Covid-19 was incredible. While challenging, it was the absolute best time to do it because I saw how global brands solved problems inside a large organization. It helped me define immediate priorities and look beyond the crisis to focus on designing our future.
The altMBA was life-changing for our sales team. It made a huge impression and the feedback was amazing. I can’t recommend it highly enough.
I’ve had a huge mindset shift, more innovation on my team, I'm better equipped to deal with new work challenges & unforeseen situations.
I’m much more confident in my capability as a leader. I make faster decisions, am willing to make choices even if I don’t have all the information and stick to them, even if they’re not popular. It’s brought a lot of positive momentum to our team.
The wide network of leaders outside my own company to train with was incredible.
Other programs simply don’t test your limits to show you what you’re capable of. I loved it. I’m much more engaged now and have an urgency for change. Our team would greatly benefit from it: we’d make faster decisions, set clear goals, and improve our team culture.
I just spent 13 hours straight with my team focused on our project - it felt like 3 hrs. It was a joy and not work at all. I don’t usually do that because I’m juggling so much, but the engagement in altMBA is huge, so much more than I anticipated.
I’ve totally re-framed how I engage with others. I understand new worldviews; my perspective has enlarged by learning from peers at world-class organizations.

Google, Apple, IBM, Microsoft, Google, Adobe, Proctor & Gamble, Amazon, Shopify, Coca Cola, The NBA, Unilever, Red Hat, Facebook, Accenture, Goldman Sachs, PWC, EY, Uber, Citi, Oracle, Gartner, NBC, Toyota, and more.
How does the altMBA help companies?
The altMBA maximizes employee potential and prepares people to navigate the complex challenges of driving organizational change. When you amplify your leaders, you amplify your team.
Employers benefit when their people care enough to speak up.
The best employees don’t wait for instructions—they use good judgment and take initiative instead. At the altMBA, we teach frameworks (not tactics) to optimize for critical thinking and long-term behavior change. We take top employees and help them become even better critical thinkers who lead across an organization, regardless of title or given authority.
When one person doesn’t contribute, the entire system loses impact.
Every time an "A" player has to cajole a "B" or "C" player into doing their job, you are unnecessarily taxing your top talent. We believe that everyone can be an A-player, and we give your team the tools to level up as change agents, so they stay engaged and inspire the teams around them to shift the culture in a positive direction.
altMBA students learn how to:
- Gain buy-in with cross-functional partners
- Confidently formulate a perspective
- Use empathy in the workplace
- Analyze and process information
- Write and communicate effectively
- Iterate quickly and ‘ship’ your work for maximized productivity
- Deliver and act on feedback
- Plan, organize, and prioritize work
- Navigate difficult conversations
Lead your people, don't manage them. Culture defeats everything.
