There was a time when earning tertiary education was only limited to the highly affluent families. But then society moved past the division of economic classes, and more people started going to universities and colleges to earn their degrees. And time has shifted once again because more people are turning to non-traditional alternatives to further their careers.

A good example of this is how more high school graduates decide to attend a vocational or technical school instead of a four-year college. Besides the practical reasons for the sudden demand for trade schools, some more pros and cons are factored into these decisions, such as:

Much of the world's progress from ancient times came from leadership. If we didn't have presidents, kings, or emperors, we wouldn't know order and civilization. But not all types of leadership resulted in something good. Considering all the wars we had, leadership was questionable at multiple points in history. Plus, our past leaders turned a blind eye to discrimination and brutal punishments.

Thankfully, we now live in a world where our standards for leaders have improved dramatically. We don't just look for educated or influential people anymore. We look for good people.

To prevent your company from experiencing the same thing, here are the outdated leadership practices you should unlearn now.

What is your ideal lifestyle? Do you want to live in the hustle and bustle of a city with all its noise, traffic, and pollution, or would you rather be surrounded by green grasses and fresh air from living out in the country?
