Inventors and Juvenile Delinquents have the same Characteristics

June 29, 2012 - PRLog -- Children, troublemakers  like the middle schoolers who taunted the elderly bus monitor in Greece NY,  have the very same characteristics Corporate America wants in an employee, except those characteristics are unbridled. Those characteristics are:

Contrarian – Every invention challenges and ultimately disrupts the status quo in society. For example, twenty five years ago every household had a landline – a phone attached to the wall. The mobile phone was invented. Today 80% of the population owns a mobile phone. The people who create these inventions are the rule breakers.

Creativity  – The IBM Survey 2010 interviewed 1500 CEOs across 66 countries who stated the 21st Century highest demand leadership skill is creativity.  Creativity is the ability to imagine new ideas. Students who fabricate and exaggerate stories  are creative. Students  who love to play and joke are creative.

Tenacity with High willingness to succeed  -  Determined to complete whatever task they embark upon even if they will face negative consequences.

Observer of the hidden obvious – Students notice details others miss. Often they communicate their little details by gossiping and joking.

If those  characteristics are bridled and channeled into projects leading to specialization in Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics (STEAM),  Corporate America  wants the perfect employee – a bold, Inventive, risk taking, science or technological expert. That employee is a juvenile delinquent today. Support INVENTION ADVENTURE.

In 2006-2007,  Ida Byrd-Hill and Uplift, Inc. piloted an alternative high school in Detroit and straightened out 93 high school dropouts and adjudicated youth.
