They achieve certain benchmarks, like raises or promotions. Then,\nbefore they know it, business is not going as usual: their staff is flailing,\ntheir influence with clients or customers wanes, upper leadership makes a big\nmistake that reflects badly upon their team, or they, personally, feel\ndisengaged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Stalling\nout is not always within your own control, such as failure to meet\nexpectations, or leaving goals unmet. But it\u2019s not always a bad thing, either.\nAccording to coauthors John Hillen and Mark Nevins of the book, <em>What Happens Now? Reinvent Yourself as a\nLeader Before Your Business Outruns You<\/em> (SelectBooks, 2018) a career stall\nis actually a sign of success! Most often, business grows faster than\nleadership is able to achieve scalability. Hillen and Nevins\u2019 suggestion? The\nsecret is to become more <strong><em>sophisticated<\/em><\/strong>.\nIt\u2019s not necessarily about working harder \u2013 it\u2019s working smarter, and being\nflexible. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, if\nyou\u2019re feeling \u201cstalled out,\u201d whether you\u2019re working reception, you\u2019re an\naspiring manager, or you\u2019re a specialist working your way towards a Director or\nChief seat, consider how you can face change with sophistication. Now might be\nthe right time to consider how you can enhance your own personal portfolio with\nan executive master\u2019s degree. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What is an executive master\u2019s degree?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>An\nexecutive master\u2019s degree is a graduate business degree that is designed for\nthe modern, working professional. It offers more flexibility and convenience\nthan a traditional master\u2019s program, particularly in terms of enrollment and\nscheduling options. Usually, executive master\u2019s degrees also cover a\nspecialized area of study, versus more general MBA programs which cover a\nvariety of topics. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An\nexecutive master\u2019s degree is a great option for those who wish to accelerate their career, expand their role, and take on\nmore leadership opportunities. By pursuing a leadership degree at the master\u2019s\nlevel, you will tackle strategic topics and take courses that will prepare you\nfor real-life experience as a chief or manager.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Is an executive master\u2019s degree right for\nyou?<\/strong><strong><em><\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Executive\nmaster\u2019s degree programs are for people like you, who want to set themselves up\nfor the next best rank at a current company, or find something new and\ndifferent with freshly marketable skills. These degrees are also right for\npeople who are interested in becoming a business leader, but who need a\nflexible program to attain that goal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>People\nwho are interested in learning about leadership are also the type of people who\nneed to keep working while they study. They already have several years work\nexperience, and want (if not need) to continue working and saving money. This\nmakes flexibility a must-have in a master\u2019s program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Flexibility\nis arguably the make-or-break component of an executive leadership degree\nprogram. This is why so many people choose a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodwin.edu\/majors\/msol\/flexibility\">flexible\nprogram<\/a> that allows them to get their master\u2019s entirely\nonline. Some online programs, like Goodwin College, grant you that degree\nwithin <strong>as few as 20 months<\/strong>, as you study <strong>part-time<\/strong>! In addition,\nyou can apply at any time, and choose to start classes in the Spring, or the\nFall, and study year-round.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Does a master\u2019s in executive leadership\noffer the professional coursework you need?<\/strong><strong><em><\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The\nGoodwin College <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodwin.edu\/majors\/msol\/curriculum\">curriculum<\/a> includes advanced leadership courses that you\nwill need to excel in a leadership position.

These\nare also the courses that hiring managers and HR leaders are hunting for as\nthey cruise through your resume and cover letter, so you\u2019ll want to be sure to\nhighlight all of these skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What does the price tag look like on an\nexecutive master\u2019s degree?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We\ndon\u2019t believe in smoke and mirrors at Goodwin College, just like you don\u2019t at\nyour current business or organization.

Now what?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In the\ncase of a stalled career, natural instincts might send you in three very\ndifferent directions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Build<\/em><\/strong>, <strong><em>buy<\/em><\/strong>, or <strong><em>bail<\/em><\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Build<\/em><\/strong>, is the noble choice. Utilize those original skillsets that got you\nto this position in the first place. Reinvent your mission, reconsider the\nstrategy, address the changing stakes! Building is a positive way to tackle the\nissue at hand. Leadership training through an executive master\u2019s degree, or for\ninstance, a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodwin.edu\/majors\/msol\/\">Master\u2019s in Organizational Leadership<\/a>, is a great way to build. You don\u2019t have to stay in the hole that\nyou\u2019ve found yourself in. Learn how to build a ladder!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Buy<\/em><\/strong> &nbsp;means hiring talent,\ninitiating new programs, purchasing software, upgrading management systems, and\nother methods of financial investment. This might be a good plan, but only as\nan integrated component to the well-orchestrated work of building. Without a\nplan for what to do with newly bought resources, you\u2019ll be in a vulnerable\nposition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Bail<\/em><\/strong><em>.<\/em> Abort, abort! Jump ship! Mission incomplete! Bailing means giving\nup. Though it could be skewed as an alternate interpretation to the saying, \u201cWhen\ntimes get tough, the tough get going,\u201d we\u2019re pretty sure that \u201cget going\u201d means\nthat the tough tighten their bootstraps and get to work. According to the\nBureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), employee tenure has remained at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bls.gov\/news.release\/pdf\/tenure.pdf\">4.2\nyears for both 2016 and 2018 surveys<\/a>. You\nmight have heard of this notion of job-hopping, or heard anecdotally that\nmillennials are flighty when it comes to their professional choices, or that\nworkers today don\u2019t care about building a career with one organization. Well, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/davidsturt\/2016\/01\/13\/true-or-false-employees-today-only-stay-one-or-two-years\/#66f92be76b4c\">Forbes<\/a> is here to tell you that, based on BLS\nstatistics, workers today actually stay at their jobs longer than they did in\n1983! (3.5 years was that year\u2019s average, for the record.) Career shifting\naside, there may be more out there for you at your current job if you build,\nor, if you\u2019re truly unhappy and there is no room for growth, you can take those\nbuilt skills, empowered to set off in a new direction. An executive master\u2019s\ndegree in leadership, such as the MSOL program at Goodwin College.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An\nexecutive master\u2019s degree is designed for those who choose to take the \u201c<strong>build<\/strong>\u201d\nroute!
