Discovery

Extraordinary results from everyday learning
John Drysdale

The author shows how we can learn from our experiences outside of work, and then apply those lessons to enhance our performance and satisfaction at work.

To make a mark in your career in fast-changing times, you need to be continually learning and developing your skills. Modern techniques make it easier to do this without taking precious time away from work and home. John Drysdale draws on these advanced methods of learning to demonstrate how you can dramatically improve your business skills with less effort than you might imagine.

Learning opportunities are all around us. All we need to do is learn to recognize them. As the author says, “I have found that the more successful people are, the better they are at discovery.” Everyday conversations can be learning opportunities. So are visits to cinemas, theaters and sports clubs. We learn both from our own experiences in areas outside of work, and from the experiences of others, distilled in films, plays, poems, music and sporting success.

Senior executives from diverse backgrounds provide compelling examples of how the discovery technique has worked for them. They will inspire you to apply these techniques to improve your creativity and imagination, focus and decision-making, management and leadership skills. And as a result, you will be better equipped to fulfil your potential in order to make a success of your career and your life.

“While our need to learn is growing – our time to learn is shrinking. Life is trying to teach us. Discovery helps us hear its lessons.”
Marshall Goldsmith, named one of the top ten executive educators by the Wall Street Journal and one of the most credible consultants in the new era of business by The Economist

“Discovery reveals how and where to look for the secrets of success that are freely available to us all.”
Jørgen Philip-Sørensen, Chairman, Group 4 Securicor plc
