This document discusses the failures of modern education systems and proposes an alternative. It argues that current education focuses too much on competition, money-making, and preparing students for obsolete jobs, creating "uneducated literates" and "educated illiterates." It questions how leadership is truly defined and measured. The document calls for a new type of education that cultivates ethics, critical thinking, creativity, and helps students find their true, lasting passion in understanding humanity's interconnectedness. It proposes that only by understanding our fundamental oneness can we overcome society's problems and work toward becoming self-directed leaders who make the world a better place.

6. Our education system has failed to make us
true students.
We literally throw away our books as soon as
we obtain our degree or diploma.
This system has made us allergic to learning.
7. Our education system has
implanted in our core,
a
competitive/win-at-any-cost
mindset.
We’re not taught how to collaborate.
8. Our education system has instilled in us an
erroneous purpose…
Making money takes priority over
family, love, and even our own health.
…to achieve
financial success at any cost.
9. The consequence of this money-
making priority is that our
best and brightest,
many from Ivy League universities,
make the highest contribution to
white collar crime.

Inmates defeat Harvard students in a debate at a maximum security prison.
13. Our education does not teach us how to
think critically or nurture inspiring creativity
or instill empowering ethics in us,
which are essential requirements
for self-directed leadership.
Does our education prepare us for leadership?
It merely teaches us
how to meticulously explain
our failures.
14. How do we produce a workforce
of self-motivated, innovative,
self-directed, and
ethically empowered leaders
who are equipped to
lead themselves?
15. Before we get there…
We need to understand how we
measure this thing called
LEADERSHIP?
(if we can’t measure it,
we can’t grow it.)
16. • How many people you have power over
• The financial resources you control
• If you have influence in more than one sphere

21. Our Education System is Obsolete
It was fundamentally created to produce
workers for the industrial revolution.
Many, if not most of, the jobs we
are trained for by our education
system are now being done or will
eventually be done by robots.
22. What is a sure path to SUCCESS?
We are told it is to find our PASSION.
We have been looking for our passion
in a subject, skill, or technology.
All these passions are destined to become
obsolete
as everything is
changing with lightning speed.
23. Where do we find that
PASSION
that never becomes
obsolete
?
