5 Learning Tips for Smart Professionals
ROME.  There were smart organizations before Peter Senge, but The Fifth Discipline helped the rest of us understand the importance of organizational learning. First published in 1987, The Fifth Discipline introduced boomer MBAs to systems thinking, mental models, shared vision, and team learning.

Here’s “Five Learning Tips to Stay on Top of Your Game”:

Portfolio your learning.  Use LinkedIn and Facebook as your portfolio—catalog your work product, ask for references.

I found this to be very useful. One thing I've learned about trying to grow and manage a small enterprise into something scalable and useful is that it's very easy to focus too much on the work, and to not focus on the focus. Good nudge for entrepreneurs that are planning and trying to streamline ways to be better.
