Resources: My Book of the Month
May's book (May 21, 2007)
If you haven't checked out Leonard & Swap's book Deep Smarts:
How to Cultivate and Transfer Enduring Business Wisdom, you
might want to. What a great book! This book is based on studies of
levels of performance and the role that wisdom plays in our
companies and organizations today.
On-the-job training's main challenge has been to guarantee results
when a company needs to move a novice up the ladder. Deep
Smarts provides practical methods for structuring coaching by an
expert so that the effort yields success. Similar to an apprenticeship,
guided experience with an expert can build the novice's know-how,
know-who, and know-what.
Some quotes to get you thinking:

Some quotes to get you thinking:
- "What we think of as intuition is really swift pattern
recognition, based on experience. Experts aren't just
possessed of more knowledge; they are able to use their
knowledge differently than the rest of us." (page 13)
"When we particularly admire or like a group and its
members, that group becomes our tribe, and can exert a
powerful influence, shaping our central beliefs, behavior,
and knowledge." (page 167)
"A coach-protege relationship is a partnership. If the two
individuals involved don't agree on the direction to take, their
creative endeavor...is unlikely to succeed." (page 181)
