By doing this we do broaden our horizons for understanding various professional and personnel challenges, faced by the corporate world. However, over last fow years, fortunately for me, | decided to spare time, energy ‘and resources for interacting with school {going kids, and to be graduated university students. And lat me make an honest Confession — We, while being over- ‘occupied withthe corporate learning stuft = are missing the core of future! | tako the livery of calling this bread of youngstars as Counter-Strike era, "Non-siruotured thinking, absolute lack of discipline yet focused on personal passion Challenging norms as the only raligion, intense boredom tendency, entrepreneurial mindset, celebrating change and fiteuling modern state of education are most common attrbutes. | found MOST important in this Counter Stike Generation, Examining future, surviving through recession and accepting uncertainty as the rule of game leads us toa simple conclusion thal if anyone can help the ‘word is this ‘Counter Strike Generation’ "ve been asking the educationist on whether ‘our education system is designed to moet the speed of thought ofthis GS generation — ‘and their prolonged delay in answering gives ime the answer. The cass is pretty much the ‘same in East and West both Now safely assuming that by 2020, we'll have the corporate arena, intensely dominated by this Counter Strike Generation - what can be the expected traits of that era | callit the Counter Siriko Era? In my humble opinion, | eee the following happening — Globally: + MASSIVE DECUINE IN LONG-TERM PROJECTS — Strategic thinking wil only be aimed for ‘a week's timeline or even smaller. The ‘entre world will be forced into Twenty20 form of cricket... Results wil be expected ‘aster, and reflection time will be reduced to negligible. + NOTEAM CULTURE I don't know how stupid may I sound, but the most rare professional ski in Counter THE COUNTER STRIKE ERA Sohail Zindani Strike Era wil be of working in Teams, I see more of a"T centic workplace: \where individual talont and strangih wil ‘outctass group competencies. Aggressive promotion of managing virtual teams is Just the beginning, + WOMEN @ COMMAND ~ Finally its coming. Girls have dominated, everywhere needed. In schools, colleges, Universities and at home, Is time for them to lead at work now. But when | say lead —| mean leading atthe top. Today, you might rescue by showing the gender balance in your organization ~ but future 's about dominance of women, nt oniy in general proportion but also atthe ‘executive level. + IVSEARCH OF LEARNING — Future bolongs to learners... quick leamers and super-quick ‘un-learners'. ‘The Counter Strke Era will offer perhaps the most ideal crowd of learners however, teaching of facilitation modes, must be revamped, accordingly. If ‘you ask me — the Counter Strike Era Leemers willbe wiling to lea ‘everything, anything, ALL-thing, The challenge isin faclitating these hyper- learners, + IPS FUNTOBEYOUNG. Unlike rest of human history, the privilage will be in being young. Being young will be directly proportional to boing informed. 1am yet to devioe the “Promotion for Seniority” plan in Countor Strike Era, + PAYING FOR TALENT ISSUE RESOWVED-— [As far a | know ~ the best of Talent wil be selfemployed. Hence, the problem of Paying for Talont will recice significantly, ‘This also leads us to the era where ‘employers will do wha ever it ake to hire the best of talent - but Best of Talent wil 'be even lass tolerant then the modern, day employer — hence employers will be rejected, globally, Forel you comorate learning and development professionals — start visting schools and colleges requiarly —it teaches you lessons for future, Is good to learn {oday then to regret tomorrow!
