Creating a culture of learning and growth.

Growth is the goal. Helping people develop their potentialenabling them to articulate and become the self they want to be, are capable of being, and that best serves them and others in the short and long termis what we as individuals and leaders strive toward.

But how do we grow? It turns out it happens in a predictable way, which means we can understand where we are in our growth and chart a way forward. In this compact, complete guide, Whitney Johnson dives more deeply than ever into the S Curve of Learning so that you can envision how growth happens and direct yourself and others in your organization to create a culture that fosters it.

The growth and learning journey comes in three phases: the Launch Point, the Sweet Spot, and Mastery. Compelling examples of successful people will show you when and why growth is slow, how to keep going, what to do when growth and learning are almost too fast to keep up with, and how to leap from one growth journey to another.

As individuals grow, so do organizations and societies.

Growth occurs when learning is internalizedwhen we try something new and invest the effort to move it from being something we do to something we are.
