BY DR . KARY OBERBRUNNER AMINDSET, NOTAMINOR Recently, at a faculty retreat, I asked my audience of Cedarville University professors to “please turn your attention to the screen.” Spanning several disciplines and many majors, these accomplished scholars represented hundreds of years worth of combined experience in higher education. I continued my presentation. “The graphic lists nine different qualities. I’m curious, which of them are essential for students within your major to succeed?” Then I paused and gave the faculty a minute to think, considering the nine traits: 1. Takes Initiative 2. Problem-Solver 3. Self-Motivated 4. Decisive 5. Adaptable 6. Resilient 7. Independent Thinker 8. Confident 9. Resourceful I had found the graphic on LinkedIn a few days prior, a list compiled by Amy Gibson, CEO at C-Serv. I chose to incorporate the graphic as part of the entrepreneurial update that Dr. Haymond, Dean of the Plaster School of Business, asked me to provide so various professors could learn about all God is doing at Cedarville in this area. 11
