Self-regulation -Curiosity to LEARN
(Execution Excellence -"Ability to get things done" Series)
As we outlined self-regulation practices to keep our energy level, we mentioned the mindset of acceptance, enhancing the circle of care, looking at everything from a TIME perspective, etc. One more important aspect i have observed in most effective people is a curiosity to LEARN.
Curiosity to LEARN :
Curiosity to learn means a strong desire to learn something NEW in the domain or field we work or something beyond the domain or field.
Learning continuously enhances our perspective about the domain, and the intent to learn makes us more energetic.
One interesting personality i came across in my consulting experience. I always admire his curiosity to learn something. Whenever i interact with him, he used to display pleasant looks and a high energy level, which i attribute to his interest in learning something new.
He has been from the financial domain throughout his career and claims to be a senior citizen!
. Still, he works in a manufacturing organization to engage himself and actively contribute his experiences. He used to attend all my sessions. In one of the sessions, i taught the complicated manufacturing system concept, which most engineers usually find difficult to understand and apply with ease. Even though he is from a financial background, he took the lead in using the concept in his manufacturing division and brought some clarity to his colleagues.
He could have excused himself by stating that the concept is far from his core finance domain or age limitations. What made him learn some complicated manufacturing subject is his curiosity to learn. He keeps himself engaged and displays high energy in his work.
Even today, he is a voracious reader of books on management, leadership, and philosophy, and he regularly recommends some books to me. Some of the books we mentioned here are all from his recommendation only.
i am correlating his energy level with his curiosity to learn.
The important learning is, irrespective of our age and background if we develop the curiosity to learn something new and keep ourselves engaged, it brings a unique perspective to our lives and makes us more energetic.
People follow the person who displays energy in the workplace than passively.
Have a great week ahead.
