Your Domain of Knowledge

I love reading books for new knowledge and thoughts. Here is a take away from Talent is Overrated, by Geoff Colvin.
Imagine the difference if you made domain knowledge a direct objective rather than a by-product of work. If you set a goal of becoming an expert on your business, you would immediately start doing all kinds of things you don’t do now.
As you add to your knowledge of your domain, keep in mind that your objective is not just to amass information. You are building a mental model – a picture of how your domain functions as a system. This is one of the defining traits of great performers: They all possess large, highly developed, intricate mental models of their domains.

Business Book Clubs

My work takes me to many places, and I work with various audiences made up of business owners and CEO’s. It is not a surprise that after years of observation and direct experience, I have found a direct parallel to the size and success of a business, and its leader’s dedication to continued learning. Information is moving at its most rapid rate in our history. Tomorrow and each day that follows, will set a new record high for speed and quantity. Our business literacy rate is dropping – a major contributor to a business’ lack of performance and sustainability, not to mention growth and size. It boils down to a very simple principle…nothing new going in…nothing new coming out.
Leaders who excell make time to read or listen to a book. It is a component of their leadership process. They know how important it is to stay current as chief learning officer of their business. A business book club helps a leader impose the discipline necessary to accomplish this commitment. Sharing new information, discussing thoughts from a book, and leaving with new pearls of wisdom that can be implemented in the business are just a few of the benefits and rewards of reading a book with peers.
