Have been listening summaries of books to find several issues I really like...... againJJJ!
Kelly Palmer and David Blake wrote a book entitled, “The Expertise Economy” and summarized by Summary.com, 2019.
It talked about leaders’ needed skill set for success which includes “learning agility (the ability to learn new things quickly), collaboration and teamwork, perseverance, curiosity and the ability to question the world around you.”
The term ‘collaboration and teamwork’ makes me think of two different groups I met the past two days ka, one identifying collaboration for their work to help researchers work successfully while the other were promising leaders who stress teamwork over and over again.
We’re on the right track ka.
This book also refers to Daniel Pink who touches on human motivation to equal 3 main factors
1. Autonomy-- our desire to be self-directed
2. Mastery-- our urge to make progress and get better at what we do
3. Purpose-- our yearning to contribute and to be part of something larger than ourselves
The more I listen or read articles about leadership, the more frequent I see ‘purpose’ which will basically answer our ‘why’ and it could relate so well with Buddhism to ask ‘why were we born for?’ too ka.
A learning culture is also covered and the authors point out that it “goes beyond compliance and necessary training……… aligns employee development with organizational goals. In a culture of continuous learning, learning becomes part of people’s everyday work and a regular part of their day. In this way, it becomes a daily habit.”
When our world cries for more learning, we need to step back to see what and how we manage learning in our institutions. I can’t help thinking of what I learned over a decade ago not to count hours of training to be one’s success. I have this strong belief as well! Unfortunately, some of our universities and our own people haven’t realize the essence of learning and so we need to promote the ‘why’ question for them to feel the value in DNAs before moving on to ‘what’ and ‘how’ ka.
Answering ‘why’ to issues we’ve been doing or to those we plan to do retains to be the most crucial ka.
More for 'leaders' to think, act, and serve as a learning lover ka!
Still have one more summary on my list (Leadershift….sanuk mak!) and will do soon ka.
