As leaders, we want to build learning systems & learning organisations. That means we need to role model being continuous learners. It can be hard to make space for personal learning when our roles are so full on. Here are five ways to keep learning, even when we feel depleted: 1) Challenge our beliefs about our capacity to learn; 2) Start with topics that solve urgent problems; 3) Don’t limit ourselves to learning via formal programmes; 4) Make an emotional connection to learning - in line with what matters to us rather than the expectations of others; 5) Work with our brains, not against them - evidence-based approaches that increase retention. hbr.org/2024/09/how-to…. By Nihar Chhaya in @HarvardBiz. I've paired this with a cartoon from @OfficeGuyToons that makes me smile. Always keep learning! Be a sponge!
