The internet of course! There will be so many ways to study or to learn something without reading books e.g. I believe that more people will be using the internet to learn & less people will be attending schools & universities
In answering my question to what is Holistic Leadership. Hi Jim! Holistic Leadership means that leading others is always due to leading oneself at first. Modern Managers should not just rely on their studies and learnings. The should know that an authentic leader knows himself well. So I’ve made up a blog (I added this for him: http://www.haukeborow.org/) that deals with questions of personal development as well as science, management, leadership etc…

I can assure you that Twitter is not the place for long answers, but we made it. The answer from Hauke was multiple posts and I pasted it as it came through with a little adjustment.
I chuckled to myself when I read rule 20 from David Coleman’s 42 Rules for Successful Collaboration: Know the objective before defining the tools. My question is way to broad to be very effective in a real project. However my purpose is to start a discussion.
I have included the links to the people good enough to reply so you can connect and discuss directly with them because they are as important to the discussion as I am.

Jim,
I quickly read your post and wonder if you have posted this to a discussion group on LinkedIn. This is just the kind of question that several forums there love to sink their teeth into.
I certainly hope that the internet does not replace the rigor of university study, as others have suggested. In fact, I believe that more and more individuals worldwide will seek live learning cohorts with high standards; they will seek to gain access to greater learning resources; they will take responsibility for their own learning; and they will better recognize that as adults we never outgrow the need for repetition and rigor in our learning.
Therefore, learning technologies that I believe will contribute to learning in the future will:
1. provide access to greater resources (networked computers and handhelds, internet 3.0, collaborative learning communities, user-friendly data-bases, etc.);
2. more people will seek to create their own individual and collaborative development plans that include learning, social and humanitarian goals as well as the typical health, financial, and professional goals;
3. these learning plans will demonstrate a high value for rigorous opportunities that require discipline, provide structure, process and high standards; they will be self-customizing by design, less “event” oriented (workshops, seminars) and therefore provide more iterative processes with a structure that supports retention, application and measurable results.

Mark,
Thanks for stopping by. I have not put it on linkedin. I just typed into twitter one day. Then realized there was no way to “keep” all the good answers, hence the blog posts 1,2,3 and 4. I am test driving Twitter to see what she can do.
I agree the rigor should be there and I think it will be but not centrally controlled as it currently and that point will rub a whole group of people the wrong way and I suspect they will howl about it loudly for a while. Distributed learning is here and growing.
Thanks for sharing. It is also my hope that we can add a little humor into the new mix: Christmas – What other time of the year do you sit in front of a dead tree and eat candy out of your socks?#Humor
