Traditional MBA courses focus on left brain functions like analysis and logic. Quantitative ability and verbal fluency are seen as pivotal in such courses. Left brain education takes pride in conciseness, accuracy and general linearity in thinking at every step of the way.

Management as a field is wide, competitive and challenging. Thus, it requires the use of right brain functions. Non-linearity in terms of dealing with ambiguity and coming up with creative solutions is a key right side function. Intuition, another right brain controlled function, is seen as useful and perhaps necessary for a successful career along this path. Synthesis of several related elements or the “big picture” approach is a management “must – have”. 

GSHR’s Whole Brain Education Approach to Management

At GSHR, the approach to education involves an interdependency of both, left and right brained functions. “LIVE” experiencing of HR functions using the “hands-on” approach is considered the need of the hour. Skill building workshops aimed at providing HR related performance skills will add value to GSHR students in the job market giving them an edge over their peers in every aspect. Role modeling and mentoring programmes by practicing senior HR professionals have been woven into the programme to facilitate intuitive understanding of this field.

GSHR provides a safe, yet challenging stage for students to handle “people issues”. In turn, it also provides the perfect backdrop to students to help them hone their rapport and trust building capabilities. The curriculum has been carefully designed to keep with the changing trends by offering strong theoretical foundations and conceptual models that are relevant to contemporary HR practices.
