ABSTRACT
Most of today's leaders were brought up with rote learning and 'experts' lecturing them at university and beyond. They are often likely to print out articles to read, or use published books in preference to reading e-books or important information solely on screen. Younger leaders are online 'natives'; this means their learning is more often electronically accessed, their personal relationships are fostered online and remotely. The first element to consider is to have a high level of visual stimulus. Even when people feel they have an auditory or kinaesthetic preference, research shows that recall is improved when a visual cue is added. Using a variety of different approaches rather than focusing purely on intellectual discussion is of far greater value. Useful ways to achieve this include providing puzzles or getting people drawing, engaging both creative and logical processes in the brain and contributing to the learning being 'sticky'.
