Business schools target the switch from military to business life

Having served in the armed forces, Takiesha Waites-Thierry has a high tolerance for stress that has rarely been surpassed in her civilian job overseeing security and intelligence at Bank of America. “My predecessor told me I looked much more calm in the job than he ever felt, but my threshold is very simple,” she says. “Did anyone die? If no one got killed, there’s no need to stress. When you’ve worked under that type of pressure in the military, you get into any environment and thrive.

The difference between an EMBA and MBV, Bogle notes, is that veterans are looking more for teamwork, collaboration and camaraderie. “The motto of our programme is: we’re all invested in each other’s success. There is a lot of trust, teamwork, nurturing and benefiting from the support of others.” That view resonates with Ken Keen, who retired as a lieutenant general after 38 years in the US army.
