Description
This week I spoke with Brad Staats, a professor at the UNC Business School and author of Never Stop Learning: Stay Relevant, Reinvent Yourself, and Thrive. Brad also works with companies around the world to develop their learning and analytics strategies. He has won numerous teaching and research awards, including an award as one of the 40 most outstanding business-school professors under 40 in the world, and the Prize for best article in Harvard Business Review on leadership, and I learned about Brad’s book from the Adam Grant’s Next Big Idea Club, a pretty prestigious collection of business books. Brad has been a venture capitalist, an investment banker at Goldman Sachs, and a strategic planner at Dell. And today Brad’s going to share: - Why we’re so bad at learning from our mistakes and three strategies that will help us get much better- Why our bias towards action is actually hurting our performance- Several counterintuitive tactics that will significantly increase your work performance- How to run a meeting that encourages people to share their thoughts instead of shutting them down- How to know if you and the people you work with are good at learning
