Hard work comes in two equally important forms: effort to perform & effort to improve. If we get stuck in chronic efforts to perform ("the performance zone"), it leads to tunnel vision & stagnation. If we also prioritise efforts to improve ("the learning zone"), we get better outcomes & work that is more interesting & enjoyable. Five ways to incorporate the learning zone: 1) Set the stage for the learning zone (learning while doing) 2) Embed learning opportunities into daily work 3) Model being a learner 4) Regularly reinforce messages about learning 5) Schedule regular discussions about how to get better at getting better hbr.org/2023/10/is-your-team… by @ebriceno8 Graphic: adapted from GISD ELC
