Exploring the Leadership Potential of Pra MBA 89 Students through Leadership Potential Review

MBA FEB UGM held a Leadership Potential Review (LPR) for students of the Pra MBA 89 cohort on Saturday, August 29, 2026. As part of the Leadership Enhancement and Acceleration Program (LEAP), the activity took place in classrooms and discussion rooms at MBA FEB UGM.

The LPR was organized by the Student Affairs Division of MBA FEB UGM in collaboration with HR Club MBA FEB UGM and Mindset Psychology Counseling Bureau. The program is a mandatory activity for Pra MBA 89 students and is designed to help participants explore and better understand their leadership potential as well as other aspects that support managerial competencies.

The program was developed by adapting employee selection processes commonly used by companies. Through the LPR, students are expected to gain a clearer understanding of their leadership abilities, recognize both their strengths and areas for improvement, and identify opportunities for further personal and leadership development.

The activities began in the morning with participant attendance and preparation before the psychological assessment sessions. Students then completed five stages of psychological assessments, conducted through an online assessment platform as well as written answer sheets provided during the sessions.

Following the psychological assessments, the program continued with a Leaderless Group Discussion (LGD). During this session, participants were divided into groups of five. Guided by assessors, each group engaged in a discussion based on the designated procedures and time allocation before submitting the results of their discussion.

Through the combination of psychological assessments and the LGD, the LPR provided students with an opportunity to gain deeper insights into their individual characteristics and potential, while also developing a better understanding of the competencies required to navigate leadership and managerial challenges.

The Leadership Potential Review reflects MBA FEB UGM’s commitment to supporting students’ holistic development from the early stages of their academic journey. Through LEAP, students are expected not only to strengthen their academic competencies, but also to better understand their strengths, areas for development, and leadership potential that can be further cultivated throughout their studies at MBA FEB UGM.
