Are you looking to make your business flexible enough to change and grow within the current turbulent market? If so, you’ll need to encourage a workplace that appreciates learning. One of the best ways to create this is to lead by example. You should demonstrate to your employees that you’re actually interested in learning yourself.
Here at ActionCOACH, we have discovered the three secrets to being a good learner. These are:
Embracing innovation and learning
You must be excited, rather than threatened, by new ideas. Managers who actually see innovation as an issue that may diminish their power is the worst attitude to have. So, if you’re dedicated to the company’s growth and you’re more than willing to work hard to achieve this, change and innovation will actually make your position stronger.
If you have personal prejudices, you should admit them to others and recognise them. Biases can really kill a business, they not only make you blind to ideas but they can cause you to spend time and money on risky and farfetched concepts.
Be humble
Ultimately, you need to remember that all business knowledge is usually temporary due to the pace of the industry. So, today’s great ideas may not be effective tomorrow. You must remain modest about all of your accomplishments so that you build a foundation of support within your business which will then help you later.
