How to Be a Successful 21st Century Employee

On May 31st, I helped conduct a conversation between business leaders and educators.  The topic of discussion was 21st century employees.  What are the skills and abilities people need to be successful as employees and citizens?   Karl Fisch blogged all about it on his blog - The Fisch Bowl.  Click on the link to read about how the idea got started, who attended from the world of education, and how I got involved (that is funny!)

The business leaders I invited to join us were:

Pete Dignan – President of ProtoTest.

Carla Donelson – Former Vice President & General Counsel of Verio.

Karyn German – VP of Product Development and Support at NewsGator. (Karyn couldn’t make it, but submitted written responses.)

De McQueen – Colorado Business Bank.

Chris Onan  - Managing Director with Appian Ventures.

Nancy Sauer – President of D2Xchange.

Chris Scherpenseel – Former President and GM, FRx Software Corporation.

Vicki Scharnhorst - Chief Operating Officer of MWH Federal Services.

 Here are some of the discussion highlights copied from Karl's blog and his notes:
