360Learning - curiouser and curiouser

As the classic story tells us, following the white rabbit down the hole can land us in quite the spot of bother–especially if the rabbit wears a gold watch and talks to himself. But just like Alice, it’s this spirit of curiosity that makes us who we are. We just can’t help it.

Curiosity is what tugs at our imagination, propelling us to find new and better ways of learning and being. It’s what makes us lifelong learners, and it’s a big part of what makes the best CLOs so great at what they do. It’s curiosity that makes a new manager ask herself, ‘Hmm, can I build the right team with these four strangers? Let’s find out!’

But here’s the deal: not all curiosity is created equal. It turns out people experience curiosity in radically different ways, from those who latch on to the next shiny new thing, to the empathic types who want to know what it’s like in another person’s head. Then, there’s epistemic curiosity: the type of curiosity best-suited to deep and focused learning.

This week, we’re celebrating curiosity in all its glorious forms. Just stay away from the tea party.

Is Hybrid (Really) the Future of Work? [Time Doctor]

The Coronavirus pandemic has irreversibly altered the landscape of work across the world. Thousands of employers, many that would never have previously considered operating their businesses remotely, have been forced to make the switch from on-premises to fully remote.
