 The
Learner’s Path: Practices for Recovering Knowers
by Brian Hinken
Chances
are that you’re not often called upon to execute a
360° tumbleturn while water skiing barefoot at work.
But your everyday challenges may seem just as daunting if
you are stuck in a “knower’s” stance.
In
this fresh, accessible new book, seasoned organizational
development practitioner Brian Hinken draws on the lessons
from his own story of self-discovery—including his
encounter with the elusive tumbleturn—to offer a rich
collection of disciplines, frameworks, tools, and methods
for overcoming the “secrets of a knower.” With
disarming humility, the author provides a practical map
for moving from awareness to action, empowering us to be
learners more focused on increasing our ability to produce
desired results, than on protecting our reputation for knowing.
Whether you’re
exploring your personal learning habits or seeking to develop
a learning culture more broadly, this book will ease your
journey.
