A recently published podcast by Harvard Business Review focused on the importance for leaders to never stop learning. The interview with David Novak — formerly of Yum! Foods — had a range of insights but the ones that stuck with me included:
- If your job has become rote — you may be but you know how to solve for all the challenges that are arising — then it’s likely time to find a new challenge
- If you’re looking for a way of inspiring yourself to improve your organization or team, ask yourself “what would be the first priorities of someone who assumed my role after I left?” And then work to address those priorities!
- Find people in surrounding fields that are different from your own and learn from them. If another organization is doing great things learn from them and how the underlying intentions or principles guiding their success can be adapted into your own organization.
Highly recommend this episode if you’re looking for a bit of inspiration in how you can develop yourself and your professional organization.
