Day 32: Do you spark the joy of learning?

“Much of the joy has been snuffed out of learning. Schools, workplaces, and their associated compliance drills make a series of mandatory demands from near the start of our lives to near the end. Worse still, we associate those experiences with arbitrary pass/fail cut-offs and sinister, official consequences. And much of the $359 million spent on corporate learning is wasted. This is a sad situation.”

In The simple joy of learning on the job, Marc Zao-Sanders and Catalina Schweninger, discuss how the spark of learning joy is real and useful, and how we can bring more of it into our professional lives.
