The mind is capable of anything—because everything is in it, all the past as well as all the future, Joseph Conrad stated in Heart of Darkness. Does your company reflect that wonder?
Can you imagine a workplace setting that showcases every person's gifts, abilities, and interests? Visualize a place where people love to come, and ideas brim over, where experts share cutting-edge stories with novices in ways that illustrat
e wisdom they have accumulated over the years.
Picture a circle where gifted workers and experts-to-be take risks to teach each other as they learn from one another and where all feel valued. Do you see growth and prosperity, that far surpasses the downsizing and broken systems that let talented workers go, as if they were expendable?
Imagine a firm where every person who enters is considered unique in some way, and you will see a metaphorical crown held over each person’s head.
With the brain in mind, successful firms provide strategies to build unique environments so that people with a yen to learn want to be there and where productivity grows. It’s a winning formula.
The basis of this model is roundtable learning, and it has a place in every cutting-edge organization. Roundtable approaches differ from leader-centered circles in that participants become a valued part of an interactive exchange among people of various ages, cultures, and walks of life.
Each participant, including the leader, is both teacher and learner. One significant question or one central problem to be solved creates the community’s core agenda, and assigned tasks double as learning tools and community building tactics.
Can you see new life that comes with more brainpower triggered at work?
