I received the following comment on my last post, 3 Types of Learners, and I thought I’d base my next post on it. Enjoy!
“This blog was AWESOME. Having read Delivering Happiness, I definitely agree that Tony is a submerged learner. One thing that came up while I was reading the blog, however, was the fact that I probably took on each type of learner depending upon the class/subject/etc. For example, when I was in philosophy during college, I was definitely a submerged learner (and am now that way when it comes to business). Change that subject to economics or organic chemistry, and my level of interest in the actual subject was different – I viewed it as a “means to an end” versus an inherently interesting subject or intellectual curiosity.

- View learning in a short-term perspective

Lately you hear lots of talk and read oodles of articles about the “soft” CEO or the “involved” management of the future; where owners and leadership work alongside their people, in a grand Kumbaya-corporate environment. This is great, right?
Well, what happens when the big-wigs upstairs get a little TOO involved? Or as my associate put it, “What happens when the non-$#*& shovelers try to shovel $#*&?” Most of the time, you might just say that the “$#*& hits the fan!”
See, I had a very humorous – yet disturbing – business call this morning Read more..
