The best way of learning for CEO’s

In simple terms the better we learn, the better we grow. The better we grow, the better we perform. Talking to the senior partner of a top professional services firm I asked about her approach to personal growth.

She told me that she had stopped listening to all those self help cd’s, she no longer attended most of the very high powered, very expensive training seminars, she has stopped trying to read all the piles of knowledge and information spewed out by well meaning professional membership organisations.

In the last few years, time permitting, she has actually started watching a trilogy of television programmes. These are Alan Sugar’s The Apprentice, Master Chef and Strictly Come Dancing hosted by that remarkable octogenarian, Bruce Forsyth.

I asked her to tell me more. She explained that these three programmes all have one thing in common. They all require people to learn, grow, develop and perform under pressure, over time at the highest level. She added that the better she understands this process the better she performs as leader of her organisation.

How do you learn and develop best?
