Employment for this occupation
is expected to increase much faster than the average for all occupations
through the year 2005. Business leadership today is about teamwork
and creating solutions. It is about acquiring practical skills
that are required in the real world. It's about learning to adapt
to changes happening around. It's about viewing business challenges
in their entirety, as parts of the "whole," rather than
as a collection of unrelated, independent, individual parts. The
business sector has never been more engaging or dynamic; however,
competition for the best jobs continues to increase. A theoretical
understanding of business is not enough, and employers are increasingly
demanding knowledge, skills and practical experience. |
