Gather your team and learn together.
Schedule an additional 30 minutes or hour after the Learning to decide on which ideas/tools/techniques you’ll implement.
Create a learning culture by supporting learning in your own organization. Business professionals are the only professionals not required to get continuous education each year. Imagine if doctors, lawyers, accountants, embalmers, and most importantly, commercial pilots, weren’t required to do the same.
