Summary:
"We now live in a
learning
economy, says Brad Staats, and while
learning
has always been important, the returns on lifetime
learning
are greater than ever. Our primary focus must be on our ability to learn. We must strive to develop new skills to create more value--or be left behind. As Jeff Immelt, Chairman and former CEO of GE, has noted, "You
never
hire somebody, no matter what the job you're hiring for, for what they know. You're hiring them for how fast you think they can learn." In
Never
Stop
Learning
, Staats outlines the framework that will help you become more effective as a lifelong learner. The steps include: Valuing failure Focusing on process, not outcome, and on questions, not answers Making time for reflection
Learning
to be true to
yourself
by playing to your strengths Pairing specialization with variety Treating others as
learning
partners Replete with the most recent research from behavioral science about how we learn as well as engaging stories that show how real
learning
happens,
Never
Stop
Learning
will become the operating manual for your brain in this new environment."--Publisher.
