Most people define learning too narrowly as mere “problem-solving”, so they focus on identifying and correcting errors in the external environment. Solving problems is important. But if learning is to persist, managers and employees must also look inward. The need to reflect critically on their own behaviour, identify the ways they often inadvertently contribute to the organisation’s problems, and then change how they act.

Best Pull Quote:
“No one dies from ADHD itself. Rather, symptoms such as concentration issues, emotional instability, memory issues, and impulsivity can touch nearly every aspect of life. Researchers have long known that people with ADHD are more likely to engage in risky behaviors, including substance abuse, unsafe sex, gambling, criminal acts, and dangerous driving. They are at a higher risk of depression, anxiety, and suicide. Difficulties keeping up with healthy lifestyle habits, such as eating well and exercising, lead to higher rates of obesity.”
