A couple of years ago, I remember sitting in my car listening to a radio program, riveted to a discussion with Dr. Melvin Levine, co-founder of the non-profit All Kinds of Minds www.allkindsofminds.org .  The subject of the show was his (then) recent book Ready or Not, Here Comes Life, in which he explores why so many young people struggle with the school-to-work transition in life, “a pivotal time that claims more than its share of unsuspecting victims. In fact, most people are better prepared for their retirement than they are for the startup of their working lives!”  At one point in his discussion on how we might better prepare young people for post-school life, he asked the question, “Why don’t we teach kids project management?”  Why not, indeed?!   I have thought often about that question since hearing that radio program.
