Monash MBA alumnus leads Hawks to premiership

Congratulations to Alastair Clarkson, coach of Hawthorn Football Club and Monash MBA alumnus and his team for winning the AFL premiership.

Few people would argue that in 2008 Alastair Clarkson took on one of the most challenging coaching positions in the Australian Football League. He redeveloped a team that had languished near the bottom of the ladder for some years to win the premiership in 2008.

“The main benefits and skills I developed and learnt during my MBA include strategic planning, organisational management, time management and crisis management. I have little doubt that the experiences and skills provided by the Monash MBA program have transferred enormously into my current role," Alastair Clarkson said.
