It’s that time of year again – back to school time. A time when everything changes, the leaves, your schedule, your routine, and a sense of excitement and enthusiasm generates for what lies ahead. How can we maintain that feeling and incorporate into our daily work life?
Make time for learning. We can get so wrapped up in our work that we sometimes put our professional development and growth second. One way to be proactive is to make a commitment to seek out and read industry news and leadership books. Another way is through professional groups. TEC members are held accountable, by mentors and group members, to continually share knowledge that promotes individual growth and benefits the group as a whole.
Analyze academically. Often times we rely on our experience and working knowledge as the supporting elements for leadership decisions. Alter your thinking to an academic approach to ignite healthy debate and idea share: Propose a thesis, supply supporting evidence, defend against questioning from others.
Start a classroom. Talk to your human resources team for opportunity to literally study. Find out what is available to you and your team such as lunch and learns, webinars, conferences and conventions.
How do you promote active learning in your organization? What is the most difficult aspect in maintaining professional growth and development?
