Principles to Remember
Do:
- Select a skill.
- Divide the skill up into smaller, manageable tasks.
- Reflect on what you’ve learned and what you still want to accomplish.
Don’t:
- Try to learn in a vacuum — ask others for guidance and feedback.
- Rely solely on your boss for advice — you may want to involve someone who isn’t responsible for evaluating you.
- Assume it’s going to happen overnight — it usually takes at least six months to develop a new skill.
