Thought Tweet #936

Thought Tweet #936 Learning from practice makes perfect.

 

The Thinking Behind The Tweet

There's an old saying, "Practice makes perfect".

There's a newer saying, "Perfect practice makes perfect".

And I say, "Learning from practice makes perfect".

STRENGTH at task = mastery of task = perfect performance of task.

STRENGTH = Innate Talent + Opportunity + Specialized Knowledge + Practised Skill...and the practice is required because few get it perfect without practicing.

During practice, people err. As they err, smart people learn and make adjustments so their skills improve. With many errors under their belts, persistent people learn how to master tasks.

"Learning from practice makes perfect."

Thought Tweet #935

Thought Tweet #935 If we understand people, we can help them do process; if we understand process, we can help it serve people.

 

The Thinking Behind The Tweet

Business Contains Only 3 Things: People, Process, & Situations. 

Amazing things happen at the interface of People & Process. Sometimes the amazing things are productive, constructive, and laced with the creation of value. Other times, they are stressful, confusing, and dysfunctional. To expand the former and reduce the latter, leaders need to help followers do process and construct processes so they serve people.

Thought Tweet #932

Thought Tweet #932 When you say "I don't have time", what are you really thinking? Why not communicate that real information instead?

 

The Thinking Behind The Tweet

Saying "I don't have time" and "I'm too busy" ... those are bad habits. They are bad habits that show how a person can self-brainwash to distract self or others or protect against something. But what? What is really going on behind those false claims?

Thought Tweet #931

by Rick Baker
On Feb 10, 2014

Thought Tweet #931 Your brain is pre-set to forget most things. What are your doing to override that pre-set...so you remember?

 

The Thinking Behind The Tweet

The human brain allows its owner to perceive, encode, store, retrieve, and forget information. Forgetting is an essential operating component. It is natural to forget. It takes no work to forget. It is also natural to remember...but that does not necessarily apply to remember things you want to remember. When you want to remember it is best to have processes to help you make memories last.
