Hello all.
Some sharing from listening this morning to Khun Joe Thana Thienachariya who was keynote speaker for MHESI on the topic of, 'Higher Education Survival: Amid Sirens and Sustainability' for senior leaders who are EdPEx assessors, current and new ka.
Here are several highlights ka:
1. He's a great storyteller who are ready to share his years of experiences in different circles in some fun ways. So while sharing thoughts, he was able to capture people's attention and at times with a little laughs. His ppt was filled with a few yet powerful words ka.
2. He stressed the world changes, tech advances at the exponential rate require far different approaches and thinking in managing work. Mobile phones create micro moments for us to be distracted very often....we've come to the age of now, age of choices, age of product caring more for experience.
- Younger gens have their own specifics like lesser rules (e.g. not to wear office uniform) impatience to climb the normal work ladder, free to express their ideas, etc.
- Leaders need to be visionary, daring enough to project what will happen in the future and decide fast to begin actions before the changes take place. He emphasized leaders' capability to collaborate too ka.
- Universities have to design with empathy....what students prefer. More extracurricular activities should be added to give more life and soft skills to students and would make them look much more impressive on their resumes than their academic performances.
- Besides the technical skills, skills needed are creativity, collaboration, curiosity.
- Love this formula ka..... IvsTXY which needs us to look at learning that should move away from having just one specialization in 'I' to become more like 'T' with specialization and broader knowledge and going to 'Y' to be interdisciplinary for the modern world. X is for leaders to come in between and make diverse groups and expertise working together.
- We should turn to be more practical to make it possible to change, going away from being rigid with decades-old rules and practices. Old molds aren't workable while being average isn't the norm nor acceptable any longer.
It was inspiring with quite a few points to think further. Personally, I think our faculty and senior leaders mean well to change for our students and institutions....but the big question is 'how could we mean well to our own selves to make changes within us too?
Happy Monday ka.
