Monday morning hello ka, everyone!
Earlier, I shared with you my first book review, 'The Diary of a CEO' for the Learn Plern Plern podcast. It went a little longer than expected from 2 to 3 episodes ka. Timing was kind of right as the author, Steven Bartlett, came to Thailand for Woody's event....5555! it didn't have any influence on the book review kraaa!
Anyway, I worked on my second (and last for now) one favorite book entitled,'How Leaders Learn' by David Novak and Lari Bishop. As I'm his podcast fan to listen to quite a few interviews of world leaders, this book has given me more stories and advice to pick up. This book goes for 4 episodes for my podcast and I had to delete several things I wanted to include. So I choose to share them with you along with several other key messages ka.
Here they are na ka:
-- David Novak coins the term 'active learner' (not avid learners) for leaders to mean those who not only are curious and enjoy learning, but they put what they've learned into practice ka.
Many of us tend to be only avid learners.....learned and done mai ka?
-- David stresses for us to simplify our efforts in 3 areas: 'simplify your strategy, purpose, or mission; simplify your communication; and simplify the situation, circumstances, or approach down to the essentials of success.'
The author wrote this book using simple language with lots of great stories ka. Sanuk mak!
-- Learning has to be fun and joyful! When he reflects on views from world leaders, this is what he found ka: 'Learning is their mindset, their differentiating skill, and their approach to life and the world.'
He shares the 3 essential building blocks or behaviors:
1. They learn from anybody and any experience that has something new, interesting, or valuable to offer.
2. They learn to maintain an open, curious mind and positive relationships, and
3. They learn by doing the things that need doing or that will make the biggest difference.
I wish our higher education system would focus on nurturing learning mindset, opening up the world, and enhancing reflection habits, keeping these building blocks in mind ka.
-- What is most important is people and his strong belief is 'Taking people with you!', meaning that give (good and capable) people's matters a higher priority over profits and rankings. His actions include recognition as culture, deep listening to understand situations and build trust, caring and giving, etc.
Lots to share and if you're interested to hear fun and touching stories, please listen to the Learn Plern Plern podcast episodes to start tomorrow ka.
I'm done with two book reviews as intended and I think it'll be a longer while to do it again for several reasons ka: get the books I really enjoy reading, and have some time to think back and synthesize from the big picture for key messages of my preference.
