8.14 Day 10 Peak: C5 Principles of Deliberate Practice on the job

PART 1: Thoughts

The deliberate-practice mindset offers a very different view: anyone can improve, but it requires the right approach. If you are not improving, it’s not because you lack innate talent; it’s because you’re not practicing the right way. Once you understand this, improvement becomes a matter of figuring out what the “right way” is.

One benefit of “learning while real work gets done” is that it gets people into the habit of practicing and thinking about practicing.

       飞行员的例子告诉我们，平常的实战练习是非常重要的，而且不能仅仅只是练习，更需要同时进行反馈并及时解决问题。在工作中也是同样的道理，不是我们比别人缺少天赋，是因为我们没有用正确的方法。走出思维的误区，在工作中边学边做，就像老师平常练课一样，在其他老师点评中发现问题，不断精进自己的教学，而新老师可以通过这样不断的练课提前预设将发生的情况，降低初次教学的带来的压力。因此，在工作中，多进行实战模拟练习，并吸取反馈解决问题，用这样的方式不断提高自己技能。

PART 2: Summary

    The author holds that the way to enhancing performance in an organization requires recognizing and rejecting three prevailing myths: one’s abilities are limited, you’re bound to get better by doing long enough time, you’ll get better if you just try hard enough. In essence, the case of pilots and radiologists offers the deliberate-practice mindset: anyone can improve, but it requires the right approach. Meanwhile, feedback is a pretty good recipe for training. In a nutshell, we could adopt the approach of“learning while real work gets done”, constantly practicing and otherwise seeking ways to hone our skills.
