Read this. Just amazing what is going on behind the scenes. Even if they do not reveal details, it is quite clear what has actually been going on.

@hyltonkallner how is it okay that #DiscoveryBank cannot stamp and send a form bank to me within a whole day??? I have spent more than 40 minutes on the phone today. Anyone considering joining #DiscoveryBank DO NOT DO IT! @Discovery_SA

The biggest emerging fissure in Western culture is not between political left and right as much as those fiercely committed to reality (even when it goes against the narrative) and those who elevate the narrative (whether left or right) above reality. thegospelcoalition.org/article/narrat…

@FABAT23 I agree! Which aspects of pedagogy will however be most relevant in the #4IR? #futuretrends

In terms of 4IR, we should always remember that "pedagogy comes BEFORE technology" There is no replacement for good effective teaching practice. Technology should serve only to enhance the experience #FutureTrends

As I reflect on leadership readiness for 4IR, this thought crossed my mind... a leader is not only the "coach" of his team but also the groundsman who prepares the field for his team to perform at their best @FutureTrends

@FABAT23 @futuretrends This is why #PathGoalTheory can be a powerful tool as the leader shows the way by going through the same process as the followers. #FutureTrends

How do leaders get followers in "high readiness mode" - willing and able to take on the challenges of the #4IR? #FutureTrends @YassimKat @patrickmakhubal @RochL91 @SibiyaVinto @PortiaM_Noko images.app.goo.gl/LzxZEw3wEZ1WgK…

Can we use path-goal theory in the long term to solve the South African educational crisis? What other suggestions do you have? @Ameera200603303 @YassimKat @patrickmakhubal @SibiyaVinto @PortiaM_Noko @MawakaF @MokatePrincess @KLehlapa @Devash_14 @ncube_rapula

"During an extreme situation you often see path-goal leadership... usually it only works in the short term" Can we use path-goal leadership in the long run? #FutureTrends #PathGoalTheory #CrisisLeadership articles.xebia.com/leadership-and…

"An executive is a teacher ... you cannot just stick people in a job and say go ahead... you need to give them a pilosophy to work against" #PathGoalTheory a tool for #CrisisLeadership #FutureTrends articles.xebia.com/leadership-and…

@MrGM_Muller We definitely cannot afford this. Research has shown that shutting down schools/opening them has little impact on increasing or decreasing COVID cases. We should follow the facts in #4IR. #FutureTrends doi.org/10.1136/bmj.n5…

With the increase in COVID-19 infection in South Africa, the talk of closing schools is on everyone’s lips. But what will the impact be on the future of education? Can education in SA continue through another school-lockdown? #FutureTrends #education timeslive.co.za/news/south-afr…

Do you want to be a transformational leader? These 4 'I's are for your consideration Effective transformational leadership results in performance that exceeds expectations @futuretrends @BellaMsimango @ShanelMunger @AlanaCT15 @jaemebhulley @PortiaM_Noko @YassimKat

@StephinaMMatse1 The good thing about the #4IR if I read @txm1971's views in 'Leading the 21st Century' is that you can cover the basics whilst utilising the advances that it offers. Thus it is an opportunity to cover both needs. #FutureTrends @MillerSchaal

Research suggests emotional intelligence as an essential skill to thrive in the 4IR

@Ameera200603303 I agree Ameera, leaders need to be able to change course whilst using values and principles to ground and guide their decision making. However, they should not be resistant to change. #FutureTrends

A leader can reform his/her mindset by adapting to change. Additionally, leaders needs to be mindful of perspective- technology, for example, should be viewed in a positive light #futuretrends

An effective teacher will know their student's challenges and how to interfere, guide, and motivate them whilst treating them as peers and fellow knowledge-creators (Aydin, 2020) #FutureTrends sites.psu.edu/leadership/202…

Aydin (2020) states "the path-goal theory highlights the connection between the leader’s style and the followers’ attributes" How can we apply this in our classes? How do we use it in the #4IR? #FutureTrends @RochL91 @L4ur3tt3F @MillerSchaal @YassimKat sites.psu.edu/leadership/202…

@NombusoLuthuli4 Adaptability is definitely a key part of our response to the #4IR. As Nygren, Virolainen, Hämäläinen & Rautopuro (2020) make clear in their work. Employees should be enabled to adapt through leaders showing the way #PathGoalTheory #FutureTrends doi.org/10.1007/978-3-…

An important puzzle piece, is enhancing the ability of leaders to adapt to different situations and adjust their behavior(that requires a high degree of self-awareness and a learning mind-set).Leaders with these attributes are more prepared to lead amidst change #FutureTrends

@RochL91 I did... I agree wholeheartedly

@leon_roets, I think you mentioned decisive leadership as an essential quality during this time. #futuretrends #leadership
