Terry Ann Powell-Bajwa On The Advantage Of An MAOL Degree

Terry Ann Powell-Bajwa, President of Tera Consulting Inc., holds several master’s degrees, including an MBA (Business Administration) and an MAOL or a Master’s in Organizational Leadership. She is also a certified Project Manager Professional who provides verified education and demonstrates how to manage the people and processes associated with a planned business objective.

Ms. Powell-Bajwa has used her education to succeed as a skilled business consultant, providing IT Service Solutions, Commodity Distribution, and Business Transformation and Strategy Services to corporate entities and SMBs. But, her MAOL gave her the training to be a strong leader and unlocked her potential to take the helm at Tera Consulting Inc.

What is an MAOL Degree?

Many believe that having good business acumen is an innate trait. While being a successful business person does take a certain amount of savvy, keenness, and quickness of mind, it also takes an extreme amount of leadership and organizational skills. And today, depending on the leadership style from the top, a company’s culture can become toxic, unproductive, or even lackadaisical.

In contrast to an MBA, an MAOL degree teaches how to leverage the human dynamics of a group to benefit an organization. This includes applying ethical leadership skills, understanding multicultural principles in the workplace, and strategizing innovative ways to motivate employees to make decisions and solve problems for the corporation’s benefit.

In every company, organizational leadership will look different. But each company requires the right combination of skills to drive people efficiently and effectively.

Benefits of an MAOL Degree

At Tera Consulting Inc., Terry Ann Powell-Bajwa works with companies that put the future success of their IT assets in her hands. The consulting services range from database design, development, and administration to cybersecurity and information assurance. She often works directly with both C-Suite management and IT technicians. Her MAOL degree has taught her the people skills needed to manage and lead subordinates and business leaders who trust her company to deliver IT solutions.

The leadership principles she learned during her MAOL education gave her the organizational foundation to successfully pursue government contracts with the Army, the Department of Justice, FEMA, and more. For a small, minority, woman-owned business, these successes become even more meaningful.

An MAOL improves your marketability when seeking employment while increasing your impact once you’ve landed your dream job. No matter what the setting may be – corporate, government, non-profits, healthcare, or retail, Terry Ann Powell-Bajwa believes an MAOL helps you look at organizational issues from multiple leadership perspectives, then decide on which path is most compatible with corporate goals and the employee culture.

Consider that an MBA will focus on cost-benefit concepts and market sector analysis in a corporate setting. In contrast, an MAOL will focus on organizational, workforce, and management dynamics to accomplish strategic goals.
