Teams Discuss
Following are five descriptions of the kinds of people industry leaders are looking to hire.
Listen as I read them, and be prepared to choose one that intrigues you.
We’re making the world more open and connected. Want to help?
Working at Facebook means doing what you love. We hire trailblazers, hackers and pioneers. We want people who can solve challenging problems, make a real impact and build something big. You should join us.
We don’t have rules. We have values.
Apple
Creativity from every corner:
When you imagine the creative process at Apple, at first you may not picture someone in HR. Or operations. Or finance. But we expect creative thinking and solutions from everyone here, no matter what their responsibilities are. Innovation takes many forms, and our people seem to find new ones every day.
:Simplicity isn’t simple
Ask anyone here. It’s hard work. It means forever asking, “Why is it this way?” and “How can it be better?” It means rethinking every customer experience until the clutter has fallen away — until all that remains is what’s essential, useful, and beautiful….
Accenture
We believe that diverse ideas and representation add value to our community, helping us deliver innovative solutions for high performance businesses. With Accenture people serving clients in more than 120 countries around the world, understanding cultural differences, values and beliefs is essential. We seek and nurture diverse talent…
TalentCulture Consulting Group
When I began my career, the most important things were mastery (education and experience), talent, work ethic, character, intelligence and flexibility. Today it’s different and it’s exciting and it’s challenging and it’s never going to be the same. Those factors are still critical, but they’ve been disrupted by the forces of social connectedness, communication, and collaboration.
Megan M. Biro, Founder & CEO
Mayo ClinicCulture and people. Our culture of caring first for others is rooted in the ideals of our founders, Drs. William J. Mayo and Charles H. Mayo, who valued teamwork, collegiality, professionalism, mutual respect and a commitment to continual progress.
Teamwork. At Mayo Clinic, you'll find a supportive, team-oriented environment that encourages diverse viewpoints. Your opinions are valued as you work together with your colleagues to make decisions and deliver the best outcomes for patients…..

words, phrases, ideas, “rules” that capture the spirit of what it takes to work in this kind of an environment.

21st Century Skills…are not new, just newly important

The leaders we need
“We need leaders whose expertise is more invested in helping a group create the shared knowledge necessary for sustained improvement rather than in being the certain source of the answers and solutions.”

When you get caught in the impact zone-you need to get right back up because you never know what is over the next wave and if you have faith, anything is
possible.
Let’s join together to be a part of
something bigger than our current
reality and be excited about impacting
a future that we don’t even know
exists…
Collectively, let’s get focused on the
fundamentals of talking about text,
writing about text, and reading
authentic literacy as the core to meet
the challenge of creating the student
that every innovative corporation
wants to hire…
Let’s not worry about the parts of
our job we can’t control like the
educational politics both locally
and nationally. Let’s instill in our
students that ideal of effort and
attitude overcome intelligence
any day of the week…
Let’s resist the temptation of
every new initiative and let’s
make innovation, engagement,
and empowerment our priorities…
Let’s establish a team both at the
school level and the district level
that is persistently pressing
forward, surviving the waves of
the impact zone knowing that
calmer waters are the reward…
Remember, that just beyond the
biggest challenges and struggles
lie the opportunities to truly
transform teaching and learning!
