11/14 Meeting

Today, Nancy Berger, co-author of Global Leaders for the 21st Century, spoke to us. She talked about the differences between 20th century and 21st century global leaders. These differences include the increased needs for a global mindset and the ability to work with other cultures, as well as the importance of networking. Networking through social websites and contacts is a lifeline, as we are continuously making discoveries as we plan for our trip to South Africa. Networking also enhances this project and helps us each grow as an individuals. We talked about how leadership is always entails give and take. Leaders need to want to learn and change. Ms. Berger told us that if we are the same person from freshman year to graduation then KSU has failed at helping us achieve and learn. I think it is important to grow as a person during our college career. College is a time to test the waters of new ideas and ways of life. We ended today's discussion with a quote from Colin Powell, "Leadership is the art of accomplishing more than the science of management says is possible."
