What should employers ask of the education system?

Article Abstract:

Changes in the work place in Great Britain will require changes in education, both in teaching styles and learning strategies. It is suggested that emphasis on experiential learning and the ability to learn how to learn must be emphasized. Students should be taught to manipulate, integrate, and apply knowledge through broad study areas rather than by means of narrow subjects. Assignments and projects should encourage acquisition of skills for handling complexity. Employers will be looking for individuals with a sense of goals and purposes, skill in servicing customers, the ability to organize and implement efficiently, facility in managing interdependence, and strong learning skills.

Why 'lefties' make the best leaders

Article Abstract:

The technique or art of leadership implies the influence over others who will consequently complete tasks more economically, competently, and happily than they would or could do if left to their own initiation. Some typical roles of leaders include: social expert and task direction. In order to perform such responsibilities and roles, the leader should be able to plan a solution, supply the required knowledge, be warm, be sincere, and be adept at communications. The personality of a typical leader can be easily translated into the ideal personality of a personnel manager.

The stage III project: turning learning into reality

Article Abstract:

Even the best student project on the grandest of topics is of scant value if it is not reality-tested. Those affected by it must be willing to implement its recommendations or it is just a doodle. In this process the student may find that the real problem is not the predefined one at all, but a more interpersonal situation. This process teaches that personnel plans must be built to exist in reality.
