[Laurie M. Scott]

Management of oneself is essential to the success of managing others after graduation. Lead by example to ensure that followers take that lead. Time management begins in college. No one can learn everything about a subject. It is important to discern what is "relevant" from what is "random." That is the mark of a good student. Today's students and professionals must learn how to learn; know where to seek information; and build on their experience. Taking a concept that works in one context and applying it to another different context is the hallmark of lifelong learning.
