I went to a training last week for extension agents at UF last week to keep up my educator skill set. Here are two good quotes I came away with from a presentation from Dr. Danny Klinefelter from Texas A&M. Good business food for thought...
"It is an economic reality that for a business or organization to succeed and continue successfully,
management must learn, adapt and continuously improve at the rate set by the leading edge of the
competition and not by its comfort zone, otherwise it will be falling behind, even if it’s moving ahead."
“In times of change, the learners inherit the earth, while the learned find themselves beautifully
equipped to deal with a world that no longer exists.” --Eric Hoffer
