The 100 best global business schools to grow your career
The world of work is changing faster than ever, and it’s not always clear what the right next step looks like. For many professionals, an MBA offers clarity, a way to build in-demand skills, expand networks, and navigate uncertainty with confidence.
And the data backs it up. Since 2010, the share of global senior leaders with an MBA on LinkedIn has grown by 32%, while the share of entrepreneurs with an MBA has surged by 87%. The degree has staying power across diverse career paths.
That’s why LinkedIn has created the 2025 Top MBA Programs list, a data-backed ranking highlighting the schools best positioned to set their graduates up for long-term success. The ranking is based entirely on alumni outcomes, including job placement, career advancement, and professional network strength.
This year, Pace University – Lubin School of Business, The Wharton School, and The University of Chicago Booth School of Business lead the way in job placement. If you’re weighing an MBA, the list offers perspective on which programs are helping graduates thrive in today’s workplace. And if you’d like to strengthen your business skills without the MBA price tag, explore a custom LinkedIn Learning path, free for all members until October 15.
The CEO Playbook shows how leaders turn tough choices into bold moves
The CEO Playbook, sponsored by ServiceNow, is a new LinkedIn page that takes you inside the minds of today’s most influential leaders. It’s where bold strategies, pivotal decisions, and fresh leadership insights come together, designed for executives and future leaders shaping what’s next. From AI to transformation, this is strategy at the highest level, revealed.
One recent example comes from Steven Bartlett, who recalls advice he once heard from Barack Obama: “You don’t have to get to 100% certainty on your big decisions. Get to 51% and when you get there, make the decision and be at peace with it.” For Bartlett, the lesson is clear: procrastination often costs more than mistakes. The real risk isn’t a wrong call, it’s the months or years lost waiting for perfect certainty.
Follow The CEO Playbook to explore how leaders are navigating high-stakes choices with clarity, confidence, and courage.

1dAI is a great technology, but at the end, technology must help people in the form of products or services, so understanding how to integrate AI technology in the product or service, to make people lives better, more comfortable is vital. In order to understand that, it requires the leaders, employees, everyone to have a sense of problem finding, and understand strongly fundamentally what the AI is, combining both of them will truly leverage the benefits of AI technology, my view
