ABSTRACT
This chapter describes a practical guide for implementation of a collaborative, experiential learning exercise. Practical experience in the form of experiential learning fosters the development of intuition and, more specifically, an intuitive leader and a successful executive. In addition to compelling evidence from the literature that learning outside of the academy develops expert intuition, evidence from best practices of internships, apprenticeships, and other methods of engagement of students outside of the classroom was examined. The cognition, intuition, and core skills acquired in the workplace appear to be universal. The theoretical underpinnings of the following features are showcased: intuition and its links to expertise and decision-making; methods of student engagement outside of the classroom; core skills of the contemporary workplace; specificity of economics; and partnership building. The progression of students' skills and intuition acquisition is shown throughout a career. The starting point of the trajectory is an applied research course conducted in the form of experiential learning.
