How can people learn

Learning, and making progress on meaningful work are the 2 easiest ways to increase creativity and retain the talented people within your organization.

Consulting a health care organization, the management team and I developed a list of how anyone can develop a learning process within the organization.

HOW CAN PEOPLE LEARN?

• One on one – partnering and observing another executive, manager, peer from the same or different department or organization.
• Self-learning – motivation is the product of autonomy and mastery. When someone is self-learning, they are pursuing a topic of personal interest.
• Find out who the person respects and admires, then connect them with that person.
• Lead a special project team with people from multiple departments.
• Integrate learning and development Key-Result-Area (KRA) into their work and job description.
• Site visit to vendors and other organizations.
• Lead an internal review of a project team and share an analysis of their successes and challenges.
• Lead a project team where this person has little to no knowledge of how to achieve the goal of the team.
• Share a short interactive workshop on an area of interest that can apply to the organization.
• Attend external courses offered at universities or community organizations.
