The best way to do create this environment is to write a story. Help people define the mission. Help them invent it for themselves.
What is the common dragon that needs slaying?
What walled fortress needs scaled?
Once that is underway, the mission is then solidified with a common enemy – who is the antagonist that wants to keep you from achieving your mission? Who is the bad guy?
Now does it all start to make sense?
Leadership is storytelling. It’s creating a living literary plot. It’s the classic hero’s journey.

Our Motto:
In the twenty-first century we are faced with a basic rule. When someone has their survival strategy based on knowledge of a single technology is doomed to failure. Nevertheless, if this strategy is based on constant updating and lifelong learning so it's easier to augur success.

For 5,000 years, the Chinese have used a system of medicine based on the flow and balance of positive and negative energies in the body. In this system, the appearance of the tongue is one of the measures used to classify the overall physical status of the body, or zheng. Now, University of Missouri researchers have developed computer software that combines the ancient practices and modern medicine by providing an automated system for analyzing images of the tongue.

..." There are other forms of brain-computer interfaces. Kurzweil, again: “We already have the technology for electronic devices to communicate with neurons in both directions that requires no direct physical contact with the neurons. For example, scientists at the Max Planck Institute have developed “neuron transistors” that can detect the firing of a nearby neuron, or alternatively, can cause a nearby neuron to fire, or suppress it from firing. This amounts to two-way communication between neurons and the electronic-based neuron transistors. The Institute scientists demonstrated their invention by controlling the movement of a living leech from their computer.” New research is paving the way for people to use their brains to interface with robots. This work is especially helpful for those with physical limitations, who may one day rely on robots to literally become their legs and arms, eyes and ears." ...

Ferrucci talks about how human beings are able to “resonate” with other human beings. I love this description. He tells us that the ability is with us from birth, but if it doesn’t develop sufficiently we are in trouble. I think the ability can be cultivated at any time in our lives. It’s certainly easier when we are younger, before we’ve had years of not resonating or not resonating well. But the ability is always there inside us, waiting to be tapped. I think the means is through storytelling. If you are ever feeling out of sorts, alone or untouched, try telling the story of something that has touched you. Via Gregg Morris

“We want to create ideal students, employees and team members. We want people to be doing what they’re doing because they love it,” says psychologist Paul O'Keefe. “We realize this isn’t how our society is structured, so any extent to which we can bolster people’s mastery orientation, we think is a giant step in the right direction.” Via Dr. Richard NeSmith, Lars-Göran Hedström

"Are online courses equal in value to traditional face-to-face courses? What about degrees earned virtually vs. those earned at a ground campus? The debate about the validity of elearning has been raging since the beginning of distance education decades ago in spite of studies showing that online courses may be of equal or even of more value."

The social world is messy and ethics helps us muddle through. By Arthur Dobrin, DSW...
All of morality aims at the same thing but there are several basic ways to get there. If you prefer, each approach is like a different tool—a hammer, a nail, a level. Using the right tool for the right job makes it easier to do your work and increases the chances that you’ll wind up with a quality product.
If you can grasp the basic ideas of each of the different approaches to ethics, you will be in a better position to make a sound ethical decision.
There are other ways in which moral philosophy and philosophers can be categorized, but establishing ethical theories into their three schools is a useful way to understand ethics.

"PLEs might be seen instead as a flexible process to scaffold individual and community learning and knowledge development. And of course, with powerful mobile devices that learning can take place in contexts where knowledge is applied, rather than as pure knowledge abstracted from its application."
