| Summary |
"Discover easy-to-implement programs and strategies for workers and leaders to usher in learning as a transformative force to help sustain careers -- and companies -- for decades to come. Anyone in today's workplace knows that keeping up with the pace of change can feel impossible. What many don't realize is that the concept and nature of learning at work needs to change, too-and this book shows how employees and managers can adopt a new way of thinking about learning and integrate a continuous learning mindset into their organizations to drive business performance. In The Upskilling Imperative, Shelley Osborne, vice president of learning at Udemy, provides a path to gaining and maintaining knowledge and skills that's more effective for both individual employees and organizations. If you're a leader, you can implement the five main components of a learning culture-and start closing that frustrating skills gap. If you're an overwhelmed manager, you'll become more comfortable with getting your employees ready for rapid change. If you're a team leader, you can discover how to encourage direct reports to embrace learning as a means of improving performance. This valuable evolved mindset can make the inevitable next workplace upheaval or technology something to learn from and even look forward to-instead of something to dread"-- Provided by publisher |
