A closer look at the things you might need to get ahead in the Business World 1st of all we need to look at what those people who do well in their jobs happen comit into pens in the workplace but in an office or a Research Environment its important to have good Language Skills a fair dose of curiosity some creativity and an ability to absorb information and its relevance in short it helps to be smart but what if your overly intelligent its not always a blessing my colleague has met up with some gifted young people and their families. Some highly intelligent people do Amazing Things play the piano like a pro as a child skippy is at school all songs math problems in the blink of an eye gifted people. And score highly on i. Q. Tests most people have an intelligence quotient of around 100. 00 only around 2 percent of the population has an i. Q. Higher than 130. 00. So how does the Education System deal with them. Hon and her brother philip or her sing for a concert. That last performance on a cruise ship was a success. And. We thought it would be a flop and nobody would come and listen in fact a 1000 people showed up for the concert our binding contract. Tested with an i. Q. Of 143 she skipped 4 grades she solves math problems in a matter of seconds that others chew on for much longer. Easy as few as 50. Percent of the secs. She is. Little brother philip has an i. Q. Of 142 hes already skipped 2 grades at school he also has big plans. As i want to play the piano conduct and compose all at the same time. Ive already conducted from the piano and its not so hard. Can you socially out with their parents they travel the world doing concert tours together phillips still goes to school. Graduated from high school at 14 and is about to complete her bachelors in music in 0. Their parents to both achieve high scores on i. Q. Tests they devote a lot of time to supporting their gifted children and their busy lives the family found that school didnt provide what they thought the children needed. For that school rarely challenges gifted children. It makes them a bit crazy in some just give up unless they have the good fortune to be able to skip grades and get their teeth into something interesting. And brings what they find what they need to home school doesnt give the mind what it needs. If they do get that at home and they get support and recognition thats an important aspect as well. Things were a bit different to mazembe lecky family. Daughter yasmin is also highly intelligent but it took a while for that to be recognised. Still she wasnt exactly typical for girls of her age. As a sea of life she was always more interested in technology than dolls. Yasmeen is the 1st member of her family to go to university a secondary school only went to 10th grade and wasnt focused on preparing students to study so she switched schools for the last 2 years. And if one of the other 1st school with said it to prepare students to learn a trade doing apprenticeship we were taught how to write applications but i realized that was not what i wanted. So she completed high school and went on to study among her intellectual strengths logical and mathematical thinking. As though he has it this is the number to the right squared minus one same here. And same here number squared minus one. For her degree in mechatronics and Information Technology shes designing a flying wing glider. Its good preparation for a career in aerospace engineering. She enjoys the teamwork and gets on fine with her colleagues. But she is familiar with a number of not always flattering preconceptions about the highly intelligent for example that they dont like small talk never heard of her that i really did have a problem with that when i was younger i never enjoyed it and never understood why anyone would do that but once i started working and studying i realized its actually quite important when i was a service that im not a cliche very intelligent people have so many talents they get easily distracted as the other feminine well when youre young it can be hard to choose a profession and it can be hard to make a decision because there are so many fascinating things you could do. For your mothers and. Yet another preconception they know so much they come across as arrogant and i found it funny to have them when people dont get the things that you yourself find easy to grasp and you have to be able to bridge that gap in a lot of i think from. The kristoffer a school in koenigs winter near bonn has had a stream for gifted children for nearly 40 years that uses pedagogical strategies involving teamwork Interdisciplinary Studies acceleration and enrichment to challenge the students this is one of several clubs in which the kids Work Together on complex projects. Many of the students felt like outsiders in their previous school. Does understand matter. I was always bored especially in math class. While the others had to go over the material again and again i would get it fairly quickly so i got a bit bored and i. Got her to do once id done an assignment id go on and do some more or do something again even though i could understand it all when i was contact list. This is the robotics club. They design and build their own robots and program them as well. Well thats how much of. Our robot is practicing kicking the ball into the goal. The ball emits infrared signals. And the sensor in the robot picks them up. That lets it locate the bone which it then kicks. Education research is estimate that in germany schools provide only about half of highly gifted students with an education suited to their needs. Ample yeah that we have a class for gifted children in each year its made up of children who tests have confirmed on gifted and are also High Achievers that means pupils who get good grades are highly motivated and have demonstrated through the way they study and behave with others that theyre the right material for the class. These budding scientists are going to present their work at a robotic olympics until now german schools havent systematically provided support for gifted pupils but education that brings out the best in bright kids will help them in the complex workplace of the future and contribute to society as a whole. Im sure youve heard this before but i thought i should point out that some of the most gifted and successful entrepreneurs were College Dropouts bill gates. Steve jobs just to name a few but remember not everyone who makes it in business is highly gifted and being super intelligent doesnt automatically mean youve got a head start so they start up founders need other qualities to get ideas funding to turn an idea into a business but most of all they need energy ambition and courage. Met up with 2 young entrepreneurs who embody all of that. Meet the 20 year old founder of pick up. Because it will get him and his 20 year old cofounder along with one of their employees the 2 bosses were still at school when they set up their own business they had an idea and just went with it. Those of you can find orders from when you at an event and theres a startup entrepreneur on the stage making a life pitch as weve done people think our lives are just about going to cool events and meeting cool people but its not like that its a lot of work people underestimate that startup founders work very very hard and as they are their company is developing and out to help High School Students find out what kind of University Course might suit them. Users are asked about their interests for example and their personality is also taken into account the founders aim to offer a more comprehensive approach than similar apps roys under is convinced that his young bosses on to something you. Didnt tell my mother. I just told them i got accepted also that its up to Bigger Companies but after talking with the hospital. Via skype and. Hearing about this specific project that is about education. I just felt that this is the right place for me. The 2 founders grew up in a small village but now based in Berlin Germany is lively a startup scene. They think this is the best place for optimizing that for young people. We faced quite a lot of hurdles particularly when it came to analysis and development. Psychologists or User Experience specialists we had to spend a bit more time. Getting familiar with those topics before we could get the 1st prototypes together. Its also up to us to make sure we earn money with it too many people are interested in our target Group Businesses and universities for example were currently working together with 20 partner universities who want to communicate with Prospective Students to find out if theyll be happy and stay the course. The past started making money by selling used to lots bicycles that they did up and sold with a 1000. Later they were going to parties in their village to fund their seed capital. They share an apartment to save money and work long hours. To help finance their starter they also develop internet presences for of the companies they going to release their own now in a few weeks time. Off you feel about the young we developed a lot of variations and had many trial runs before we got to where we are now and we had a lot of fun we said if things continue like this problem Problem Solved problem Problem Solved then thats a really cool way to work and thats how it was for us. You have a lot of ups and downs but its fun. And you tell yourself weve gone through a lot worse seen worse things. Because they like the hot side of. You have to try to separate your home and work life a bit. We share a flat so we Work Together all day long we have to try and switch off a bit even though its difficult. To sit at the table and have dinner together and then we end up back at tops and then its 2 am all of a sudden you go to bed and when you wake up youre still thinking about work thats not everyones cup of tea but i quite like it were still young we can take it since i. Was. Going jogging huge day. Luxury this time out he says it clears his head and it makes him more focused and more creative but were. We believe we found our passion and if it doesnt work out then well take it from there but even if i knew that everything was going to go belly up tomorrow then it would still have been worth that simply for the experience and. The 2 entrepreneurs are happy with the path theyve taken and thats despite the risks. Well todays start ups that many focus on online work or taking of asians there are still the traditional trades there require a different set of skills like plumbing carpentry and construction and business is booming in those sectors but fewer and fewer young people are interested in getting trained for those kinds of jobs and thats a big problem here in germany. Construction work goes on and all kinds of whether. These jobs are strenuous and theyre unpopular this building site has too few workers its a problem for the sector as a whole which is struggling to find new trainees. An awful state when we dont have enough young people are what i call midrange around 20 or 21 they dont have the stamina i dont want it with all the conditions theyre used to getting everything from their parents but here they have to do it on their own some of them lack logical thinking or the spatial awareness for the job hes on his fortune was by just walking alone. This is a new waste water pumping facility for the berlin Water Utility around 40 builders and iron workers are employed on the site. The lack of trained workers is a growing problem their boss explains orders are up and he could hire more than 20 people on the spot but hes had to turn down contracts because hes understaffed. Sales are highly tripled in recent years in the past 2 years weve grown from 50. 00 to 80. 00 employees off the top of our the resources on the labor market are simply exhausted and an aging society is also gradually having an impact. Who. Headhunters have even come to the construction site to will away his workers they become a valuable commodity to keep them steffen here has raised wages in recent years his employees now earn between 16 and 18 euros an hour. This body challenged to get thought it was a matter of money in the name years and after that wage levels had fallen so far that it was no longer attractive to work in construction. Thats been. Compensated step wise in the past few years. But the industry still has a bad image that is. And thats not only true of construction many of the trades have a Bad Reputation fewer and fewer young people are choosing to get training in professions such as heating and plumbing fitter. With. This Company Currently has 30 trainees learning to install and maintain heating and sanitary systems. I want to hear from them why they chose this particular profession most of their classmates at school prefer to go to university. Problem is those people get this image from youtube or social media that they have to do this or that or make so and so much money or they only want to work with computers and not to physically strenuous work or get their hands dirty. And i cant spend the whole day sitting on a chair i couldnt bear that. One of the trainees came to germany as a refugee from senegal on back home he worked as a baker now hes in the 1st year of his training and is still struggling with the german way of doing things. He is working here is a little complicated because you have to follow the rules its a bit more complicated then in senegal this is. The trainees get a lot of attention the Company Provides extra tutoring and 2 employees have been assigned exclusively to them. This Plumbing Firm also has many orders but too few workers its become more and more difficult to find suitable applicants the owner is concerned about his trades Bad Reputation. This is. Its gotten to the point where lots of people have a bad image of our profession i call it gas water in beautiful bathrooms but were seen as dealing with filth and being dirty in stinking. Its not like that anymore and each of our Service Technicians have a laptop that theres a lot of electronics involved and they have to know a lot about technology. The workers on the construction site dont worry too much about their image they say theyre proud of their profession and what they accomplish every day. For us its a way of life you think wanted to have done and we get some people who come and think they could get it shown to them quickly and they can do it but not everyone can you have to really want it. Germany has a shortage of trades people im surprised that not enough people want to do these jobs despite respectable pay. If this trend continues it will eventually affect everyone. So the german firms are trying to address the Skills Shortage by raising wages as you heard there and looking abroad for workers now what if you were confronted with the task of running your own business or if you were in the running so to speak becoming a boss automatically by inheriting a company from your parents but suppose there are several children who could take over we take a look at one particular German Family business. Game well can cope yoga and meditation director wants to have everything organized when he passes on the leadership of the company but he has 2 children and that means making a choice. The game is a german clothing manufacturer that has been own didnt run by its founding family 1st century. The current patriarch both and his wife elizabeth have 2 children both come junior and bonita. Sr says only one of them will take over the company the question is which one the family eat breakfast together every morning will that tradition continue once one of the other child takes over.

Both congo is confident that both of his children have the wherewithal to run the company after him casting their cards. There will be no casting to see who is better they mustnt sloth be up to assuming the responsibility of oxen zein the key thing is what parts they might follow. Lets say for example my daughter were to marry and move away. That would disqualify her from running 3 game. But if they both remain nearby there will be no way to avoid the difficult choice and talk to my daughters in charge of ecommerce.

Junior has been introducing new technologies in production including tablets they provide their sewing staff information about the tasks at hand how many items of clothing they have to make and which cut pieces to use. My do you expect efficiency to improve by up to 10 percent because things will just be much clearer were already seeing an increase in performance they cannot check how much they get done each day. Thats made it quicker and easier for them to fix things if theyre doing something incorrectly theres more transparency all around. And. My son is great at motivating people especially when it comes to accepting innovation at the company. And thats very important. The cops feel a strong sense of responsibility toward their employees and talk about the game as a corporate family among the groups themselves family cohesion is an important principle. My brother and i get along very well and complement each other it doesnt feel like were rivals were pretty cool about the whole thing. One possibility is that the child who doesnt become boss could assume another significant role in the company. But the family home will definitely go to the boss. Desk in the city film op it comes because he takes over the company will also get the house which is right across the road from the factory. Says that should she be the anointed one she redecorate the family home from many family firms the can be hard to find a worthy successor to the boss here it seems there are 2 of them.
