World Leaders Need to Know This.....
Professor Culpepper has obviously been blessed not only with the gift of intelligence but keen insight as well. His indepth comparison of the German training model with the challenges of the rapidly changing world we live in today points out the need for change which current world leaders need to recognize. Hopefully, some of his graduate students at the Kennedy School will be exposed to this information and deliver the message around the world. This is not easy reading, but it outlines the difficult challenges faced by the world's worker of the new millineum, articulates the lessons we have learned thus far (both good and bad) in a detailed and comprehensive way, and points toward a positive direction for the future. Not much more one could ask for from a scholar in his first publication. Let us hope there are enough people of influence who will struggle through this, understand it's importance, and pass on this new knowledge to others with a sense of urgency.
