Abstract: Abstract. In the past ten years, many executive education programs have been developed at universities to assist leaders in learning new skills and proficiencies. However, there is little published literature that examines specifically how CEOs have learned needed new skills in the past or on the learning preferences of CEOs. This research examines how the CEOs of thirty-three real estate companies in the United States like to learn needed new skills and proficiencies and presents its findings as twelve CEO learning preference themes. It further compares these themes to the relevant literature distinguishing adult learning preferences (e.g., executives) from university undergraduate education, and reports on education techniques and methods favored by these CEOs compared to other adult learners.

This paper is the winner of the best paper on Real Estate Education (sponsored by Dearborn Education and the Real Estate Education Association) award presented at the 2006 American Real Estate Society Annual Meeting in Key West, Florida.
