Learning Agility - (Beyond Progress) by Sheila McDerment & Dave Crome (Hardcover)

About the Book

Book Synopsis

In a world where working practices are increasingly transient and technological advancement is moving at breakneck pace, the ability to adapt and learn quickly has never been more important.

This ability is known as learning agility. It is about having the motivation to rapidly learn from experience and to modify, experiment and apply that learning to meet a need, often in an unfamiliar situation or context. It requires the mind and skillsets to engage with change, take risk and adapt to solve problems creatively and quickly.

This book uses the authors' Intero Model, which draws on learning theory, neuroscience and psychology, to explain this vital workplace skill to those looking to cultivate it themselves and leaders who want to develop it in their teams. Full of practical guidance, this book is an essential resource on the most important workplace skill of the day.

Beyond Progress is a series about the skills that shape how you work, lead and grow. As jobs change and careers become less predictable, human skills like focus, adaptability and resilience matter more than ever. Straightforward and practical, these books help you build the confidence and judgment to handle anything work throws at you, collaborate seamlessly with others and keep growing in your career, no matter how the workplace evolves.
