Three Models of Education

In history, and today, there are three major types of schooling: conveyor belt (employee), professional, and leadership. Each model uses different methods to achieve far different goals.

1. Conveyor Belt (employee) education exists to prepare everyone for a job, any job, by teaching them what to think. This includes rudimentary skills designed to fit them to function in society.
2. Professional education ranges from apprenticeships and trade schools to law, medical and MBA programs. Its purpose is to create specialists by teaching them when to think.
3. Leadership education teaches students how to think and prepares them to be leaders in their homes and communities, entrepreneurs in business, and statesmen in government. This is the education students receive at George Wythe University, complete with the 5 Pillar Methodology and within key environments of learning.

Leadership isn't an accident. It's not a product of luck, birth or circumstance. It's predictable. It's the product of a replicable formula.

"The most dangerous leadership myth is that leaders are born -- that there is a genetic factor to leadership. This myth asserts that people simply either have certain charismatic qualities or not. That's nonsense; in fact, the opposite is true. Leaders are made rather than born." -Warren Bennis

Every great leader in history experienced the core elements of leadership education to prepare them for their mission.
