"The man in industry with corked intelligence due to his inability to communicate is a common problem. Uncracked imagination, unlit potential, corked intelligence, this man of wasted potential remains a mystery to all industry. And industry does not suffer alone. Schools have learned scholars who fail as teachers because they cannot transfer their learning to their students.
