We live in a world that is flat. We all know that there are no national boundaries when it comes to commerce, any longer. Which means, when our students eventually find themselves in the work world, it is almost a guarantee that they will find themselves working on a project as a part of a team. Most teams in businesses are without hiearachy and with that comes the need to be able to lead by influence. The most effective way to lead in the 21st century is through the ability to engage people and to ask the right questions. To do this in a global environment, our students must be able to understand and respect differences.
