"According to John Naisbett, the world is facing a change that is equivalent to the change from the agricultural society to the industrial society," said Marie Kotter, WSC vice president of student services. The change to an informational society allows more people to know more and be more involved, she said to a large Brown Bagger audience last Wednesday. Decentralization of leadership is a product of expansive accessibility of knowledge because we can't expect decentralized leaders to know everything, Kotter said. We know more, therefore we want to participate more in making the decisions that effect our lives. Convocational graduation at Weber State this year is an example if decentralization, she said. Networking opens the door to increased involvement by a greater number of people. It lays the groundwork for multiple option changes rather than eitheror choices, she said. "The whole world is moving towards transformational leadership styles." "There are no more kings and queens in the new model of team leadership. No more having all the power, but none of the responsibility," said Kotter. "Everyone is a leader in the enviroment where you are." New leadership manages premises rather than outcomes. "This is the tough one," said Kotter because our pictures of the world keep changing before we can get them into focus. "The ability to improvise and to take risks is needed now more than ever," she said. "Left brain organization has not allowed right brain organization to work." This is in the context of the left brain being viewed as masculine and the right brain as feminine. "Women have been socialized not to take risks," Kotter said. "Because of the complexity of the world, leaders need multiple perspectives that cause them to think and to act in (See KOTTER page 7) FARR'S JEWELRY is moving MOVING SALE NOW Diamonds Wedding rings 14kt. gold MARKED DOWN 14 rtttt or wwr -m rrs or a vmor 234 Whirfltofl Btwf. I American Heart Association Best Buddies gearing up for fall By Howard Allen Staff writer of The Signpost Best Buddies , sponsored by the ASWSC Volunteer involvement program is off to a slow, but sure start, said ChristineBreidt,VIP coordinator. Best Buddies is the first national program for college students and persons with mental retardation. The program is designed to help those with mental retardation be integrated into society by making friends with a college or university student. Buddies can go to the movies, basketball games, museums, bowling trips or just hang out together and talk. Weber State College is the first college or university in the state to adopt such a program. Since the first informal meeting in April, 10 students have shown interest in the program. "Right now we are working on matching up with some of the local schools special education departments," said Breidt. "The program is still in the organizational mode, but will be gearing up for full operation in the fall." Best Buddies is privately funded by the Kennedy Foundation through grants from individual donations, schools, corporations and foundations (See BUDDIES page 7) Hear Ye9 Hear Ye WSC Annual Lost and Found Auction May 16,17,18 The Auction will be held in the basement of Annex 5 (Campus Police Office).
