He believes that we are getting in our own way by the way we think, decide, and act with regard to the development of original ideas. We find that while we talk about the need for creativity and innovation, employees don’t feel supported or inspired by their leaders and were not given the time or resources to develop new ideas. The question is, do we have a people problem or do we have a situation problem? We must learn by doing.

T ACKLING THE BIG CHALLENGES when there is no single, simple, rational answer can rarely be done by a single individual or company working alone. When faced with complex problems, we tend to find a rational answer by analyzing increasing amounts of data and polling for opinions and then announcing the answer to those who must follow. How do you design and guide complex collaborations in open, loosely connected networks when no one can tell anyone else what to do?

It took me a long time to learn that others don’t really want my advice. I know that even when others ask me what they should do, I rarely have the answers that are best for them. I’m also a self-defined helper, and when others are stuck my first reaction is to save them by giving my advice. In the end, telling others what they should do is really quite selfish; it feeds me and doesn’t help them. Just ask them what they’d do and then watch them do it.

Do you know what you do? What have I learned by doing this? I do more than I think I do. At the end of a 5-10 day cycle (yes, I try to do this weekly but sometimes it just works better to stop "from time to time" and think) of work, I look back and reflect on what I've worked on lately. This gives me semi-objective information and allows me the time to assess the balance between what I intended to do and what I actually put my attention on.

Have you noticed that when you’re a passenger in a car driven by someone else (or when you drive and rely on your GPS), that you may not remember the way to get to the same destination the next time? So it is with the way your employees learn: Learning is stalled when you: tell someone how to do something. do it for them. don’t guide them to think and learn from their errors, mistakes, and gaffes.

This led me to think more about creativity – the act of doing something in an unconventional way, the act of creating something meaningful that changes you and hence the world. Around the same time I was thinking about creativity, I stumbled upon a great book titled “ Creativity – Unleashing the Forces Within ” written by 20th century spiritual teacher Osho. You are at your creative best when you do things because you find joy in doing it, because it has an intrinsic value to you.

Education is learning languages: the languages of words, music, math, art, chemistry, biology, etc. Education is learning paradoxes … and oxymorons. So let me highlight an oxymoron that is damaging our kids’ education: Lifelong Learning and Gap Year. If we truly believe in Lifelong Learning , then we have to believe that Gap Years are not Gaps…and we have to use a different word.

Going through programs such as daycare and after-school sports — something their parents or grandparents did rarely — has also shaped the way millennials learn and interact. Because they’ve been working with peers their whole lives, they learn best through collaborative efforts.

Integrity - "I would prefer even to fail with honor than win by cheating." Self-development - "One learns by doing a thing; for though you think you know it, you have no certainty until you try." Post by Dennis E. Sophocles (496-406 BC) Not many young people are made to read the Greek classics in school anymore. So I wonder how many of us today are familiar with the plays of Sophocles, who was born about 500 years before Christ and lived to be 90 years old.

People learn by doing. They not only get good at what they do, they learn how and when to adapt. In his book Creating Minds, Howard Gardner talks about the 10 Year Rule , which was first identified by psychologist John Hayes in 1989. The rule holds that a person must persist with learning and practising a domain or discipline for about 10 years before he or she can make a significant breakthrough. Face Time as a KPI.

OK, so we’re one month into the year by the time I got around to posting this. I’ll learn more about my strengths and weaknesses. I’ll take a multi-rater assessment or figure out some other way to get an accurate assessment as to how I am perceived by others. I’ll do some serious self-reflection, or work with a coach or mentor, to figure out what’s causing me not to delegate. Learn to resolve conflict. I’ll learn and practice the “G.R.O.W.”

I’m not against learning better practices, identifying key strategies, and gleaning from the wisdom of others. By all means, read, study, and learn. Like most anything else – you learn by doing. To learn to ride a bike, you must get on the bike. To learn to play the piano, your fingers must strike the keys. To learn to shoot a basketball, you must shoot the basketball at a hoop (a lot).

I’ve been thinking about the 2 nd , 3 rd order effects of outsourcing, especially now that some companies are either doing or seriously considering insourcing. I agree with many who believe we learn by doing. Many innovations arise by trying to do something one way and figuring out a better way or an entirely different way to do it. Perhaps because they learned to? So, have you tried to quantify your ‘learning by doing’?

We settle for mediocrity: we allow ourselves to believe that sameness will give us what we want, when what we are really doing is closing ourselves off to possibility and significance. We do not learn by doing, we learn by risking. We settle for safety: Being safe and feeling comfortable doesn’t mean you won’t be sorry, but it does mean that you’ve decided that you don’t want to grow and learn anymore.
