Leadership in Business Administration

Whether launching a startup or becoming a CEO position, a Business Administration degree can enrich overall knowledge of the workings of a business.

At the highest levels, the influence of a leader can resonate throughout an organization, motivate teammates, and provide them with a purpose and direction. Good leadership can help to establish company culture and the developmental direction of an organization. 

Examples of great business leaders are Bill Gates, Elon Musk, Steve Jobs, Warren Buffett, and other historical examples.
