A credential, like any common currency, is valued only because of the collective agreement to assign it value.  The value of a college degree has been in question since the Great Recession, but there have yet to emerge clear alternatives for the public to rally the around.  There are plenty of contenders, though, and it won’t be long before one of them crystalizes the idea for the masses that the traditional degree is increasingly irrelevant in a world with immediate access to evaluative information.

The Dark Side of Emotional Intelligence - Adam Grant - The Atlantic theatlantic.com/health/archive…via @jhagel
Roddick explained, “Whenever we wanted to persuade our staff to support a particular project we always tried to break their hearts.” 
As Professor Kilduff and colleagues put it, it is high time that emotional intelligence is “pried away from its association with desirable moral qualities.”






We’re learning better ways to connect with our community every year by listening to what they need.

@garystager 1st ch compares 2 schools. Says that 1 school performs much higher than the other. Higher school has selection process. Shocker.
