Took 5 bullet points of his lecture:

          US needs skillful technology workforce

          (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
