Discuss management and leadership practices across several different industry sectors* which will better prepare professionals for success in the future. What sorts of mentoring plans and training opportunities would you suggest for different company cultures (i.e. a small business, a large corporate setting, a governmental organization such as a school district or a police department). What do you, as a manager, owe to your employees? What is the role of professional behavior and business etiquette in such a rapidly-changing environment? What is the role of professional ethics in overseeing a workplace where much of the “work” is being performed by expert systems or Als? Can you just blame mistakes on the computer? Or would that be unprofessional? Expert systems already provide “advise” to professionals. Who decides about levels of quality in a professional setting dominated by machines?
