Fostering Continuous Learning

To counter the lip service often paid to professional development, one leader implemented weekly learning circles, dedicating 90 minutes every Friday for team learning and growth. During this time, participants engage in activities such as listening to podcasts, watching TED Talks, or discussing relevant articles, transforming the session into a dedicated learning opportunity. This initiative has begun to foster a culture of continuous learning while simultaneously promoting stronger team connections. By treating this time as sacred, the leader has created an environment where learning is prioritized and embedded into the team's routine.
