Creating a culture of learning and growth.
Growth is the goal. Helping people develop their potential--enabling
them to articulate and become the self they want to be, are capable of
being, and that best serves them and others in the short and long
term--is what we as individuals and leaders strive toward.
But how do we grow? It turns out it happens in a predictable way, which
means we can understand where we are in our growth and chart a way
forward. In this compact, complete guide, Whitney Johnson dives more
deeply than ever into the S Curve of Learning so that you can envision
how growth happens and direct yourself and others in your organization
to create a culture that fosters it.
The growth and learning journey comes in three phases: the Launch Point,
the Sweet Spot, and Mastery. Compelling examples of successful people
will show you when and why growth is slow, how to keep going, what to do
when growth and learning are almost too fast to keep up with, and how to
leap from one growth journey to another.
As individuals grow, so do organizations and societies. Growth is
learning put into action--action that betters the world as we better
ourselves and our small niches, both personal and professional, within
it. Growth occurs when learning is internalized--when we try something
new and invest the effort to move it from being something we do to
something we are.
