Mastery

Humans love learning to the point of mastery, where we can start to pass that learning on to others.

We can’t help ourselves.

We love learning, almost as much as we love teaching.

If we don’t get the opportunity in school or at work we make our own opportunities.

Don’t believe me?

I challenge you to pick anybody in your circle who has not mastered something well enough to be able to teach you what they know.

You may not think it a skill worth mastering, but it is mastery nonetheless.

Maybe we’ve got work all wrong?   We’re making people seek mastery outside work instead of helping them to find it in their work.

Why is that?
