7. A fundamental change is needed in the way we
think about education’s role in global
development, because it has a catalytic impact
on the well-being of individuals and the future
of our planet,” said UNESCO Director-
General, Irina Bokova.
“Now, more than ever, education has a
responsibility to be in gear with 21st century
challenges and aspirations, and foster the right
types of values and skills that will lead to
sustainable and inclusive growth, and peaceful
living together.”

15. Digitisation means a big change and it is a journey
that requires a number of different skills.
Interpersonal skills and trust becomes even more
important today, for example. You need to create
participation in the organization, work closely and be
responsive to identify trends and emerging
technologies. As a leader you must also be able to
delegate to an even greater extent than today - and
for delegation requires trust. Having a feel for what
people in different parts sitting on the right
competencies is another desirable characteristic.
