SECURITY ARCHITECTURE & DESIGN 2
According to a study, education has been in a constant state of transformation since the dawn of learning. And due to technology, education will continue to transform in the new era (Carr-Ruffino, 2005). Students are supposed to be productive as soon as they leave school, so teachers need to teach more skills than content. With an increase in technology such as the internet, students can get more information that they need. School is meant to prepare students to be future leaders; that is why teachers should give students good examples. When students and parents at home set a good example, they allow their children to see how to balance business and personal roles (Carr-Ruffino, 2005). By doing so, they will learn accountability through effective leadership. Teachers should also encourage team activities by either encouraging students to join scout troop or participate in sports activities. This will sharpen them and teach them how to be active in the future.
In workplaces, people practice what they learn in school. For a person to be a good leader, he has to be confident in everything he does. This is because leaders should be confident enough to ensure that other people follow your commands. A good leader should show some assertiveness to respect their subordinates (Leotsakos, Ardolino, Cheung, Zheng, Barraclough & Walton, 2014). In most organizations, ' employees tend to follow their leaders' steps, so they have to set good examples. According to Leotsakos et al. (2014), teachers are supposed to educate students about hard work and perseverance by setting realistic goals and encouraging them to quit. This can be done through athletic activities and competitive learning games. Such activities present great opportunities for practicing the skill of perseverance.
A good leader is supposed to inspire others, and according to research, the most challenging job for a leader is to convince others to follow (Leotsakos et al,.2014). In most organizations, ' employees tend to have a different opinion on things. A good leader should think positive, and the positive approach is supposed to be visible through actions. In times of pressure at work, a good leader should be calm in order to overcome any challenges in the workplace. Great leaders in most organizations practice what they were taught during their school times (Carr-Ruffino, 2005). Education is what sharpens future leaders. In school, people are being taught how to be good communicators; as a great leader, one should know how to communicate your vision to the team and educate them on achieving their goals. It is noted that words have the power to motivate employees so that they can perform their duties towards achieving their goals (Carr-Ruffino, 2005). Additionally, a good leader should have decision-making skills in that they should have the ability to make the right decision at the right time.
A good leader should think hard before making any decision, and once a decision is made, they should stand by it (Leotsakos et al., 2014). So, it is advisable for schools to teach students programs and courses that will prepare them to be leaders in the near future. When students apply the skills they were taught in class in their workplace, they will perform better and even get a promotion. Companies recognize employees who are goal-oriented and determined. Such intelligent people ensure that a company achieves its goal. Also, parents are advised to teach their children good manners to have a more pleasant life. Good manners are important to make a good impression on others in everyday life. When a person practices a good manner, they tend to feel good about themselves and identity. Good education prepares people for a good life because people with a good education know how to communicate and interact with others.
