I appreciate your line: we MUST truly listen to others, focus on their strengths and champion their creativity to be successful in a global economy. Thank you for your very thoughtful comments.

The command-control structure of management/learning is over. Corporations and educators must move toward an engagement model with people if they wish to succeed in any type of sustainable manner. If not, the "head in the sand" approach will catch up with them-sooner than later-and force them to create community at work to compete. With 77 million boomers exiting the workforce, this generation is taking with them any trace of the paternalistic work model as the new generations learn how to survive and thrive inside a model where it is all about them and their values in a 1-to-1 world. Their values and thinking is completely different than anything we've seen due to the influence of technology and information that they have been raised with! An 8 year old child today has as much access to knowledge as adults and this is creating an enormous impact on how they choose to learn and work. Wake up and smell the coffee to embrace these changes the Knowledge Age has thrust upon us. It is creating an environment where we MUST truly listen to others, focus on their strengths and champion their creativity to be successful in a global economy. Change IS good!!
