Improving soft skills


Posted Feb 03, 2009 22:10

Hallo everybody,
I intend to apply for an MBA in UK this year.
I graduated in economics and I have 7 years work exp, 5 in economic reasearch and 2 in the energy industry. I already took the GMAT (710) and I'm struggling with the TOEFL.
It seems to me that all the top MBAs are good on "hard skills" (finance, accounting...)
Anyway, I really need a program that enhances also my soft skills, so useful in industry (leadership, people managing, negotiation, facing change and so on)
Do you have any advice about that?
Many thanks in advance,
Pablo

No advice?
I've read that both Cranfield and Lancaster have Leadership Development programs, while other top-tier UK schools (Oxford, Cambridge) have not.
Actually I know that Cambridge and Oxford have a great brand, but also the programme is to take in the right consideration, isn't it?And, further, Lancaster seems to have a very high value for money..
What do you think is the best choice?
Thanks
