Brian Glibkowski on How leaders can inspire a continuous learning organization

One of the most recurrent challenges for organizations is about creating a culture of learning - unfortunately the way we learn in corporates hasn't changed much in the last years - unpractical, not inspiring and not inline with the agility of business.

The change on the way organisations develop a culture of continuous learning has become urgent - it is time to explore alternatives to design rituals empowering people to learn.

What we discuss in this episode on inspiring a continuous learning organization

• Billions of dollars are spent on trainings in corporations - the sad thing is that the traditional way of training adults has not changed much. What are the flaws of the current learning model?
• We have seen an increase of leaders that have been trained on mentoring and coaching approaches - which is often associated with knowing how to ask questions - from your famous TED talk, you mention that there is imbalance of questions vs answers. Why is that important?
• AQ seems to me like of mental process (a meta-skill) that leaders can use to teach, communicate and motivate their teams - How does it work?
• I am a fan of micro-habits - creating small routines to acquire skills - What could be some good routines to start practicing the AQ model
• Part of your research includes a way to assess AQ - can you really measure if someone is progressing in acquiring this skill?
• When a corporation invest on teaching AQ in their organization what type of outcomes can we expect - business, organizational and human
