In an LBS MBA class where more than 90% are international, bringing one’s unique identity to the ‘What Makes you Unique’ essay would be the only chance when competing with similar profiles from Finance, Consulting, and Technology.
Broadly, identity-based narratives fall into four themes:
Inclusive leadership is not democratic leadership, which, according to studies, is the worst kind of leadership in a crisis.
Asking for votes for every small decision is counterproductive. That is why in democratic societies, we have representatives to take care of the interests of the constituents.
Inclusive Leadership is much more nuanced.
Interestingly, what makes an applicant resourceful could also be a curse when the person doesn’t know when to quit and seek help.
Quitting a path of problem-solving is considered a weakness in our culture, where every tale of persistence and resilience is praised, while ‘seeking a mentor’ or ‘seeking help’ is seen as a weakness in all quant-heavy cultures (Finance and Technology).
Even during the worst job market, employers look for candidates who are entrepreneurial. The popular culture, unfortunately, has painted entrepreneurs as these superhuman beings who persist and stare at failure with a Zen attitude.
They are not.
What makes entrepreneurial applicants unique is their resourcefulness in turning limitations into their strengths.
