“The capacity to learn is a gift; the ability to learn is a skill; the willingness to learn is a choice.” - Brian Herbert
The book aims at encouraging readers to capture the various facets of the 4 factors of learning – Knowledge, Attitudes, Skills, and Habits. These factors of learning have a direct influence on our success and performance.
Knowledge and skills are mostly associated with learning and are developed through teaching or experience. Attitude and habits are factors associated with execution and are cultivated through good coaching and training. Knowledge and Skills are the learning component of an individual, while the Attitude and Habits are the performance attributes of a person.
“Knowledge is power.” This is the first key to success as a business leader. This includes staying up-to-date with the latest trends and best practices in the industry, as well as acquiring a deep understanding of business’s products, services, and operations.
“Attitude is essential.” In addition to knowledge, attitude and mindset are critical to success as a leader. You must be positive, resilient, and adaptable, able to weather challenges and setbacks and emerge stronger on the other side.
“Skill is imperative.” Without skill, application of knowledge is not practicable. This includes both technical skills related to your industry and more general leadership skills, such as communication, collaboration, and problem-solving.
“Habits are ultimate.” As a leader, you must cultivate habits that support your success and well-being. “Motivation is what gets you started; Habit is what keeps you going”—Jim Ryum
