Our world is constantly changing. Our society is confronted with issues regarding globalization, international diversity, advances in technology, and threats of hegemony and world supremacy. Such innovative, productive advancements in computer technologies and high-speed internet services also offer opportunities for poor, uneducated minorities to learn about other people and improve their economies. Added features reinforced with elaborate, strategically-placed, global satellite systems and sophisticated protocols can significantly expand productivity.

Globalization has made the world smaller. It has influenced the homogenization of peoples from various societies with diversified cultures and customs. Merging with the concept of diversity, as an accepted norm, is the expressed need for mutual dependency among all associated groups. It is virtually impossible for complete independence or solidarity from global participation, and it would be counter-productive in this highly competitive global marketplace.

The indispensable elements required to maintain a competitive position as a recognized global leader are education, awareness and knowledge about diversification in customs, cultures, traditions and ethnicities, and an unmitigated ability to adapt to change. By education I’m not referring to earned education but education that is broad in scope, innovative, and continuous. It is our responsibility to provide our students with sufficient education, training, and skills to become erudite, ethical, successful contributors in a new global society. Correspondingly, education affords students, staff, parents and communities with ethical guidelines for personal growth and development in a changing environment.

I have always maintained a sincere interest in academia, training and leadership. My training and experience include positions in leadership, decision-making, strategic planning and forecasting. My strength emerged from my commitment to education, staff training and development, designing and implementing cost-effective programs, and leading national and transnational teams to work constructively toward a common goal while adapting to, and managing change. I also have international experience as Director of Operations, Asia & the Pacific Rim, for a transnational outsourcer of “c” class commodities, hardware, and labels to the computer and electronics industries. This experience is an invaluable educational tool that I share with students and faculty in the public sector, and management in the private sector, to enhance their awareness about differentiations in customs, cultures and ethnicities, and expand their perspicacity about globalization and the global marketplace.

My commitment to education was reinforced when I was assigned to instruct middle-level students in an inner city, alternative public school. The pressures were tremendous but the rewards were immeasurable. In addition, I am a college professor, which affords me opportunities to integrate my global experience with instructing students I believe that the responsibility of educators is to stimulate the minds of students, enhance their knowledge, expand their productivity levels while steering their growth and maturity, and assisting them with molding their careers.
Regardless of the costs, students need to be molded into highly-trained, poly-cultural, cross-functional, erudite knowledge-workers with sufficient familiarity about global diversity to make them successful. I have had the opportunity to travel around the globe and interact with students and teachers in many different countries. People in other countries are committed to expanding their knowledge base and mastering new skills so they can compete for the best jobs in the workplace. As the global marketplace expands and opportunities become available across borders, these diversity-efficient students will have learned sufficient skills to be competitive, productive, globally-diverse knowledge workers. There is a massive compilation of skilled and unskilled labor that now has the ability to move freely across borders. This shift in available labor represents a major contribution to the international labor market promulgated by impacts from globalization.

I bring a wealth of global knowledge and experience to share with staff, students and the community to aid them in learning how to adapt to change, and confront the challenges. The more knowledge about customs, cultures and multiculturalism that students acquire will serve to earn them respect from people of ethnicities, cultures and customs, other than their own. The ability for graduates from public schools to learn to adapt to change will place them in highly competitive positions in the uninterrupted global marketplace. It is our duty and responsibility to provide the best diversified education for students so they can graduate as erudite, ethical, progressive knowledge-workers. They will be the new leaders responsible for maintaining a peaceful, harmonious, productive, and economically sustainable global society.

In an educational environment we, as academics, are the leaders and role models for our students. Leaders are responsible for guiding and directing themselves and others as well as for marshalling innovation. Learning new fundamentals in leadership encompasses numerous strategies that systemically fit together for the betterment and wholesomeness of the members who comprise the educational institution, the enterprise, and the country. Students need teachers who have an unmitigated commitment to educating and molding them into becoming the new erudite leaders of the future.
