Leaders tend to forget that they are leading a group of people, not a series of numbers. The way we structure our businesses today determine whether they survive 5 to 10 years from now, and with the new generation of employees wanting different things than before. People expect rapid promotions and steep learning curves, then they want to do something else. Most businesses have no concrete plan on how to mantain a workforce, and turnover rates are higher than ever. Companies such as Google and Microsoft have distinguished themselves with how they approach keeping an intelligent, healthy workforce. They succeed in areas other technological companies fail, especially with the amounts of stress people working in technological companies face. Creativity needs space and breathing opportunities to flourish. Stress kills creativity, and teamwork even more so. This is were I hope we will see a change in the future.

I'm in the process of learning, and I find talking to great minds is one of the most beneficial ways to grow. The value of interviewing the people I look up, not only provides me with new connections, but also with invaluable knowledge. Living in a world were future challenges of environment and violence a constant concern, I'm looking for ways I can work towards helping the world cope with these issues.
