Took 5 bullet points of his lecture:

• Leadership and the New Digital Workforce

          US needs skillful technology workforce

• Digital Transformation is powering a shift in workforce productivity

          (1) Automated workforce
          (2) Decision support
          (3) Workforce upskill
          (4) Mobility
          (5) Change management

• The skills gap in manufacturing industry is growing - leading to unfulfilled jobs

• What does "leadership" really mean? After analyzing five different approach

1. Characteristics of admired leaders approach
2. Needs of people in an organization approach
3. Determination of crucial values approach
4. Qualities of successful leaders approach
5. Global surveys approach

• Five Multidimensional definition of leadership 

(This is a bonus I learned from his lecture. He mentioned if you answered like this style when the   interviewer asked you "How do you show leadership", you will get that job!!!)

1. Honesty: trustworthy, authentic relationship
2. Forward-looking: sense of purpose
3. Inspiring: confidence that things will work out
4. Competent: bias toward action, risk, curiosity and courage

       

I finally watched "Darkest Hour"

This movie has been in my head even before it was released. Finally, picked up a time to watch it.
There have already been thousands of reviews of this movie so I searched Wikipedia to get the whole life of Winston Churchill.

The first thing I need to change my stereotype about Winston Churchill is his appearance. He looked like this when he was young.

(Of course, everyone looks different when they're getting older, right?)

Just like this is the young version of Einstein

I like watching war movies and there are 2 reasons:

(1) To value my current life more, nothing is more desperate than living in the war.
(2) If I were in the battle, all I could depend on was myself. No excuses.

I trained myself not to cry while watching war movies because I consider the really powerful human being is supposed to be tough without too many emotions. Today, when I watched the scene that Winston Churchill cried when he heard the bad news from the war. At that moment, I finally released myself.

BTW, dealing with a husband like Winston Churchill, you have to have more mental power treating him like a baby.
