Systems are challenged today like never before.
The key challenge that we face
is results.
In an environment driven by results, the best
strategy is to “DEVELOP YOUR PEOPLE.”
Broaden the definition of learning in your system to include adults.
The focus must be on the way we work.
– Cooperation is what was valued in the past. It is about efficiency: “You do this and I will do that.”
– Collaboration is where we should focus. It is about shared creation, in which the focus is not on the process but on the specific results.

The Fundamental Attribution Error
When looking at our own behavior, we tend to view the situation in the environment that surrounds our action.
When looking at the behavior of others, we make assumptions about their personal qualities.
The Effects of Praise
Fixed or Growth
Can’t hand confidence to learners on a silver platter.
