5 things that I have learned:
1. Employers look for people who can engage in good discussion. They have to know how to work well with others. They need to know how to engage others.
2. Engage in critical thinking. It means being curious about why things are the way they are and being able to think about why something is important.
3. "Leadership is the capacity to take initiative and trust yourself to be creative. I say to my employees if you try five things and get all of them right, you may be failing. If you try ten things, and get eight of them right, you're a hero. If you set a stretch goals , you'll never be blamed for failing to reach a stretch goal, but you will be blamed for not trying. One of the problems in a large company is risk aversion. Our challenge is how to create entrepreneurial culture in a larger organization."
4. "The biggest skill people are missing is the ability to communicate: both written and oral presentation. It's a huge issue for us."
5. Children aren't as curious as they should be; and neither are adults.
