Leadership Crisis Challenge is a program offered by the Sanger Leadership Center at Michigan Ross. This program prepares you to lead in high-pressure, high-stakes environments. You engage with crisis management experts, receive specialty training, and compete in a qualifying-round contest. In the final round — a 24-hour crisis simulation — you test your ability to strategize through extreme turbulence, think on your feet, and demonstrate poise under pressure. Along the way, you receive personalized feedback from business leaders, communication coaches, and faculty experts.

You'll work on a four-person team during the challenge. Come prepared to engage intensely and practice navigating ambiguity, exercising good judgment, adapting through turbulence, and performing under pressure.

PRIZE: $3,000 scholarship, to be split among the winning team members

You must be able to attend the Leadership Crisis Challenge on both Thursday, March 23 and Friday, March 24.

Open to any University of Michigan undergraduate student (plus Ross MAcc and Ross MM students) at no cost. We ask that you register in advance on our website (link below).
