Access to leaders
Become a leader by working with leaders
At McKinsey, you will have the opportunity to build relationships with the most influential leaders in the world—both inside and outside the firm.
“At McKinsey, I get to see how an industry works at a senior level and really understand what ultimately drives CEOs of companies—what keeps them awake. It’s very exciting.”
Get firsthand exposure
You’ll have contact with CEOs, directors, presidents, and government ministers in your work. These leaders will rely on you for insight and counsel. You’ll immerse yourself in their challenges. You’ll see how they think and act under pressure. The experience you'll gain—and the trusting relationships you'll build—will accelerate your growth and help shape your career.
Learn to lead
You’ll also work closely with senior colleagues and mentors at McKinsey. They’ll expose you to new ideas and teach you new skills. They’ll give feedback on your performance and offer advice to help your development. Their support will prepare you to succeed in leadership roles. And they’ll be part of your personal network for the rest of your career.
McKinsey also provides formal training for developing the practical skills you need to lead teams and influence people. These leadership workshops help you strengthen skills that you’ll rely on throughout your career, including inspiring teams, building relationships, and being entrepreneurial.
And of course, these workshops are a great opportunity to make friends and build your own leadership network.
