This is a world in which a very high level of preparation in reading, writing, speaking, mathematics, science, literature, history and the arts will be an indispensable foundation for everything that comes after for most members of the workforce.

The best employers the world over will be looking for the most competent, most creative and most innovative people on the face of the earth and will be willing to pay them top dollar for their services. This will be true not just for the top professionals and managers, but up and down the length and breadth of the workforce. Those countries that produce the most important new products and services can capture a premium in world markets that will enable them to pay high wages to their citizens.

1. Satisfy the changing customer's or client's needs. Your customer may be either external or internal and your output either a product or service. Most times customer satisfaction will require a process of innovation through team- oriented collaboration. 2. Become a creative, effective and efficient problem solver utilizing critical thinking skills to meet the customer's need in a response time that provides a sustainable competitive advantage through added comparative value and service. 3. In order to perform effectively, in an increasingly multicultural society, it is important to also have a global perspective with cultural understanding and sensitivity. 4. One must also be motivated and persistent for the right reasons; realizing that you can increase your motivation substantially to face unforeseen future challenges. The root of all effective motivation is a healthy amount of self- esteem. 5. Manage and take responsibility for one’s own career, including multiple and varied job assignments with an international perspective, to help develop the needed competencies. A formal career plan, along with feedback from candid and trusted friends for realism, and a mentor to assist you in navigating career moves is also critical. 6. Finally, live a balanced and healthy life with time devoted to family and outside work activities, a skill that is now recognized as essential to life and career success.
