Aunque existe un gran número de investigaciones sobre la importancia de la calidad de la enseñanza en educación básica, se sabe relativamente poco sobre el impacto que la enseñanza efectiva tiene en el desempeño de los estudiantes universitarios. Con esto en mente, un grupo de investigadores analizaron el impacto que la efectividad docente tiene en el rendimiento de los estudiantes de educación superior.

 

El clúster de universidades que sobresalen en innovación, investigación y colaboración

Un reciente análisis realizado por el Times Higher Education ha identificado al "clúster" de universidades que sobresalen por su estrategia de innovación, investigación y colaboración con la industria.

Use a Recurring Meeting to Bust Bureaucratic Logjams

Every company has them: smart, well-intentioned managers who inadvertently slow down the company with too many questions, too much analysis, and too much process. To speed up these people, consider holding a recurring meeting on Monday mornings to air and resolve the conflicts that are preventing execution. Meet, talk, and stay in the room until the issues are resolved. This will send a clear signal that any conflicts preventing the organization’s ability to act — especially at the front line — will be allowed to linger for a maximum of four business days. A commitment to making fast, firm decisions raises the organization’s metabolism and shows everyone that leadership’s bias is toward acting and executing on behalf of customers. Employees will come to expect that endless analysis and deliberation won’t be tolerated.
