Editor’s note: Contributor Ashkan Karbasfrooshan is the founder and CEO of WatchMojo. Follow him @ashkan. Leadership guru Warren Bennis asked whether leaders are born or made. When asked if Wall Street would accept a young Mark Zuckerberg in his early 20s as CEO, Facebook investor Peter Thiel said: “Well, we’ll wait until he’s over 25 to file”. Wise move, considering that Mark’s title on his business cards read “I’m CEO, bitch”. This week Facebook filed its S-1 to go public.

Vision Execution Determination Luck Timing. Reverse mentoring boosts corporate learning. By Kim Yong-seong Imagine that you are invited to a brainstorming session at an advertising agency. Young enthusiastic employees are trying to persuade the senior managers to buy their ideas on location-based mobile advertisement services. However, you can easily tell that the harder the young people try to impress, the more confused the gray-haired seniors become on the other side of the table. “What are these young guys talking about?” Murmured the seniors among themselves. In most cases, seniors are experienced professionals who know how to get things done the old way. We can learn from great leaders about how to tackle such an issue. As a seasoned businessman, Welch quickly noticed that there were huge business opportunities in this field. He himself asked a young employee to teach him about the unfamiliar subject. In the meanwhile, being able to influence the senior executives empowered the young employees.
But if you never admit what you don't know, you will always remain a fool. 'Failure week' at top girls' school to build resilience. 5 February 2012Last updated at 00:52 By Judith Burns Education reporter, BBC News Headmistress Heather Hanbury said "Failure Week" should teach high performing pupils not to shun risk A top girls' school is planning a "failure week" to teach pupils to embrace risk, build resilience and learn from their mistakes. The emphasis will be on the value of having a go, rather than playing it safe and perhaps achieving less.
Pupils at Wimbledon High School will be asked how they feel when they fail. The headmistress, Heather Hanbury, said she wanted to show "it is completely acceptable and completely normal not to succeed at times in life. " Ms Hanbury's pupils achieve some of the highest exam scores - but from Monday they will be invited to focus on failure. There will be workshops, assemblies, and activities for the girls, with parents and tutors joining in with tales of their own failures. There will be YouTube clips of famous and successful people who have failed along the way and moved on.

Llaboration gives way to dog eat dog at the HE funding bowl - FE news. Last Updated:23 March, 2012Section:FE news University severs college partnerships amid competition for places One of the biggest accreditors of degrees in FE is terminating almost all of its partnerships with colleges.
Leeds Metropolitan University, which once saw itself as the “university of the North”, along with college partners across the region, now sees its future in private companies and overseas franchises. Over the past year, it has ended its partnerships with five colleges and over the course of 2012 it expects to shut down another 12. While many colleges have been able to find new university partners to continue their provision, the decision is a further sign of the increasing competition between universities and colleges for a limited number of student places. For Leeds Met, it has meant a decision not to pass on any of its allocation of places to colleges through franchising.
According to the Association of Colleges (AoC), this is a nation-wide trend.
