The job of universities is to give students a real taste of what leadership is so that they can make intelligent choices and decide whether they want to be a leader. We need a clear definition of leadership. Next, we have to provide opportunities for students to test themselves and find out what they can and cannot do in groups or teams. Students have to identify and assess their strengths, weaknesses, and potential from these experiences. The academy looks to business to provide real case studies and challenges that students will face.
Industry looks to the academy for leaders who can hit the ground running.
The academy needs to look beyond the traditional structure of the curriculum and related teaching methods. The academy needs to be more innovative and flexible in meeting the needs of business.
