Knowing & Understanding
James ????O’Toole ??
I enjoy solving problems, writing, building new things and working with high-performing teams.
Do you know or do you understand the difference?
The difference is surface level vs submergence.
People who seek to understand take the time. People who seek to 'just know' don't.
More people are beginning to confuse knowing with understanding.
That's a problem.
Quick Test: You have the answer, but can you explain how you got there?
Knowledge isn't power. Everyone can know.
Leaders are looked up to, for their understanding. Did you pass the test of understanding?
Not everyone can understand. That's why you're a leader.
Your team want you to share your understanding.
Part of your responsibility is continuous learning.
Continuous learning to truly understand what’s important...
Now, do you know or do you understand the difference?
