“Effective decision-making can be seen as an optimal link between memory of the past, ground-realities of the present and insights of the future.” ― Amit Ray, Mindfulness Meditation for Corporate Leadership and Management
Interestingly, experts do not walk around, claiming to be experts. Often, they demonstrate their expertise through the questions they ask and the knowledge they share.
However, most of the people of whom we would consider being ‘creative thought leaders,’ are the first people to credit their mental inspiration to others. Furthermore, the collective mind inspires me. Frequently, the work of others and our clients inspire many of our posts. My need to digest the work of other creators and thinkers is vital. So, if there is a topic you would like to discuss, please contact me.
Principles of Leadership Learning That Lead to Growth
There are eight fundamentals of leadership learning that lead to growth. Interestingly, these principles are universal across cultures, leader levels and generations. Moreover, building these into a leadership growth program provides a positive impact on speed, retention and application of learning to your most pressing business issues.
- Do not skimp on assessment
- Design processes for practicing skills, not just learning them
- Create a powerful “why”
- Create opportunities for learners to observe models
- View manager support as vital
- Trade up processes for learning accelerators
- Avoid being misled by the 70-20-10 model (70% from challenging assignments, 20% from developmental relationships, 10% from coursework and training)
- Commit to complete learning pathways
