WORDS OF
We asked the Hebrew University community how they envisioned
future generations – in terms of technology and leadership.
Here is what they said:
W
The next generation of leaders will have to possess an international mindset—to have an
understanding of global processes. The challenge will be to use technology in the right context
and ensure we use it for the right goals while simultaneously understanding its limitations and
the price we pay to let technology take over our lives. We must ensure that technology won’t
replace our ability to think.
Dr. Osnat Cohen, Director, Hebrew Youth University for the Promotion of Science Education pg. 28
The basic qualities of leadership do not change from
generation to generation. Whatever our future will
look like, we will still need leaders with a deep sense
of justice, commitment to social welfare, modesty,
and the ability to know when to ask advice, and the
intelligence to know whom to ask. The one thing that
has become more critical is the ability to learn and
adapt quickly to new forms of interaction that change
how leaders interact with and influence the public.
Dr. Netta Barak-Corren, Lecturer
in the Faculty of Law pg. 25
One thing I can say for sure is that future
technology can still surprise us a lot. The
future is for us to see and enjoy. No one
can really know what it will hold.
Prof. Danny Dolev, the Berthold Badler
Professor of Computer Science pg. 8
The most useful leadership is a leadership that thinks strategically—
using the best lessons from the military struggles and tragedies of the
past—instead of leadership which is self-righteous, absorbed and into
victimization, identity politics and morality plays.
Dr. Danny Orbach, Senior Lecturer of History and East Asian Studies pg. 25
