DumbStuck

We talk about learning a lot in this blog.  ;-)  Let's look at it backwards for a moment:

What are some things that keep us stuck on dumb (or ineffective)?

• Thinking we're too busy to read that book, take that class, post the question in that forum, ask someone who can help...
• Deluding ourselves into thinking our shortcomings are simply the result of bad luck.
• Failing to spend some time (individually and as teams) reflecting on our results and discerning which of our practices produced the same.
• Being fearful of failing or of looking less smartish.
• Presuming that we have no control over the outcomes (aka, victimhood).
• Ignoring the fact that it takes time, effort, energy, and resources to LEARN new stuff.
• Trying to go it alone.

Here's the continuum.

Both the direction AND the speed we choose to move along that continuum are completely within our control.
