Create or Become Enslaved

The roundtable process in any firm sets the stage for ongoing learning characterized by innovation and cutting edge progress.

William Yeats described this successful approach best when he advocated  building on people’s strengths.  In Yeat's words:  Learning is more the lighting of a fire than the filling of a pail. Do you agree?

For Dewey, people’s inner fires are ignited through active learning, whicenslaved.jpgh he described as a process that involves discovery and delightful curiosity. Does it happen where you work?

Learners activate their unique capability to learn when we inspire them to create. I remember a few years ago when, after many years of teaching university, I identified with Los, a character in Blake’s poem, Jerusalem.

Los said: I must Create a System, Or be enslav’d by another Man’s (human’s). I will not Reason or Compare, My business is to Create.

Los speaks to many leaders today who work tirelessly to make their roundtables reflect new understandings about how the brain works and how people learn best in brain-compatible environments. Does he speak to you?

We cannot wait for broken systems to fix themselves. Improvement comes through key efforts of one learner at a time and one solution at a time. The converse is also true. When leaders ignore people's personal unique learning proclivities, or insist on one approach only, they tend to hinder genuine progress.

Would you agree that quality learning follows when people draw on their past experiences, their faith, their worldview, and their unique talents, as tools for deeper understanding. Leaders who light fires will celebrate new ideas in any company or community.

This post was written just for me...or so it seems.

You reinforce my thinking and deepen it with Blake's poem.

I have just been engaged to deliver a message. My assigned subject is "Creative Leadership". The audience will be young professionals.

You've helped "load my guns" as I prepare. Thanks.

Keep creating...a path to freedom,
Mike
