There is also a huge opportunity for colleges to restore their relevance by helping to fill the learning gap many managers face when they are promoted into a leadership role. Today, people often take on leadership positions without much formal management training. Often,, even though they haven’t developed the skills needed to lead a team.

How can a continent that is undernourished and suffering from a lack of adequate food, alternating between natural and man-made problems, succeed? The world is entering globalization
That is the job of families, media, and society. Empathy can only be thought by action, resilience too. Maybe univ could teach integrity and coachability, but with what resources? If the same prof who abuse students/postdocs, can really teach about integrity?

Before anything be humble, listen to your elders. Keep your nose clean, your chin down. Academia isn’t there only to polish managers. As Paulo Freire said, we can only form brutes since before the empire. We train pros so they are a more prepared work force. 💎For the workplace

Unfortunately, our current education system focuses on building hard, technical skills which were useful in the XX Century. Tech and digital revolution will impact education as well. Focus will be on soft skills (7 C’s), connecting the dots, thinking.
Our planet/humanity are evolving into forms of consciousness fields - we must become aware of the meaning and how group consciousness impacts our daily life. We must demonstrate effective interdependence experiences within community as a UNIVERSAL Creation Spiritual Principle.
