Human Leadership

Human leadership is about putting people first. Making the needs of individuals more important than the organization knowing that once people feel secure, they will put the needs of the organization first. In one word, human leadership is loyalty. Loyalty is not one-sided. Loyalty requires participation. Whether in organizations or in government positions, we cannot expect understanding if we are unwilling to understand. We cannot emphasize the needs of some when we ignore the needs of others.

Pathways for Dreams

We need to provide education that does not favor one discipline over another. We do not need nurses whose real passion is theater. We do not need business managers whose real passion is painting. We need institutions that see past the conformity of the industrial approach to embrace an educational model that encourages the pursuit of passion.

An iPhone Education

Apple accomplished this revolution without apology or permission. They understood their purpose, focused their passion, and met the needs of its consumers. Today, we face the same opportunity to revolutionize higher education. We just need to apply some proven principles.
