Agile Learner

Here’s a post by the Center for Creative Leadership about what it takes to be an Agile Learner. My favorite of their six rules is the first, focus on you first or inside out.

My coaching philosophy centers around the phrase and title of a Marshall Goldsmith book, “What got you here won’t get you there.” I think the skills and behaviors that got you to your current level, won’t get you to that next level. I also say that those ‘next level’ skills and behaviors will feel uncomfortable. If you find yourself on a daily basis feeling comfortable and competent, then perhaps you’re missing growth opportunities.
