Uncertified teachers in education have a hard time as we can read in the newspaper. How come? Their training is not because they often have very sound knowledge. I think transfer students in the healthcare sector, where a great need for forces, will experience the same problem. Yet it is a good development as both care and education to transfer students can be strengthened. But there is more than a technical hands-on training level.
It is not about an intellectual expertise or technical skill in the work, but a competency of the heart and consciousness of a vocation. Provide patients and clients and attention to the education of youth requires a process of awakening. This spiritual awakening is an awakening to the fact that in this work about people and about people who want meaningful life. The translator should learn to look in the care to the sick or old man as man, and not only to the disease as such. This concerns in education also to the knowledge seeking man for knowledge in itself is worthless without a focus on people. This position requires a different skill than one is used in business, banks or in the bureaucracy.
Working with and for people draws attention to relationships, relationships with all stakeholders, customers, patients, colleagues. The direction of this relationship processes is also only possible from relationships. It is not a market but the uniqueness of every man to his full potential. The uniqueness of the relationships is an unrepeatable process that can enrich and complement each other.
When they inflows in this retraining is about to awaken to the richness of relationships, new possibilities for creating new forms of leadership can arise. The possibilities of human orientation are potentially already as a natural base anchored in the organization of care and education institutions, but often remain unconscious. With expert guidance, this spiritual wealth to be made aware and at all levels of the organization experienced. It is not just a question from the top of an organization but it can also be bottom-up from all members aware. This experience can work for patients, clients and students, but also to colleagues.
The professor Gerrit Broekstra, notes in his study of business spirituality that this meaning as a human genetic code is rooted in the organization. The awareness of this act provides direction to the right of the people of an organization and its employees can be consciously experienced as a spiritual force. In his book describes Broekstra the power of leadership as a deep structure by its genetic code. This genetic code still lives happily in the care and education, but is due to the political policy under great pressure. Hopefully they can avoid this decay-entry.

This article is gripped me from the heart.
The shot by systems thinking in health care and education and especially the "dominant" mode as a "superior" government, the consequences are visible daily. Accessibility for entrants (read, in their eyes, not the experts) is a bottleneck in these sectors. The "strongholds" were in position to start the system and within the system are only possible solutions that come from the system. Fortunately, there has rings visible and fortunately aware of the boundaries. Partly as a teacher and HBO hospitality professional, I find that strange eyes in the system difficult to be admitted. Especially in healthcare, which is really a pure hospitality business, I see the struggles to invest and old business to let go every man / very patient centered. The Protocols is there something about, but in most educational and healthcare institutions, hospitality management (yet) formalized strategy. What we need in a country where approximately 70% of our GDP is generated in the services in any form whatsoever. How will future leaders (yet) be trained in service management. Leaders so that their service staff should be able to make service to their customers, patients, consumers, prisoners, members, residents, participants, etc.? Which provides training in it?

@ Fons Bitter: Thanks for your support. Not a program meets your requirements. You need to start your own business and to the leadership of yourself and if you exude leadership
Dear Paul,
I totally agree with you that education should inspire people for a better planet. (Certainly HBO)
Only the reference to the so-called transfer students and their lack of success of this project I think is premature.
I think the closed culture of education to blame.
Indeed, I should not exclude that they entrants more "animated" than many of the teaching staff.
With inspirational greeting
Jack
Kerremans @ Jack: Jack you're right that education also must break open its closed culture
Paul,
Another worthy and correct and touch product.
The challenge is just da senior management
in exel-driven organizations no longer
know what relationships, connection, passion,
sensitivity means.
Actually there is therefore a major challenge.
It may be from below, the pressure is then increased
and the manager fits or goes away.
But I hope we are also capable managers
coaching guide, but yes, they should
also want first.
Regards, and hope to spreeks, we call!

@ Hans Topee: you can not change others and can only start with yourself. That definitely affects
