A short YouTube video by Anthony Onesto reflecting on Adam Grant’s book Originals and the value of being a "giver" rather than a "taker." Onesto connects Grant’s idea to HR and organizational learning, arguing companies should give frontline subject-matter experts tools to teach others so knowledge and passion are preserved and shared—casting this as the future of workplace learning and training.
Hey everyone, it's Anthony Honesto. Today is Friday TGIF for some of you and here is my daily burst of knowledge for today. I'm thinking about Adam Grant and actually there's a great book called Originals written by Adam Grant. And he talks about in his latest post being a giver and not a taker. And when I think about that coming from an HR perspective, I think about how we can unlock knowledge in organizations, right? So giving the employees the tools to teach others about what they're good at, right? What they're passionate about, their subject matter expertise. And right now there aren't really effective tools to do that other than maybe Slack or email, but a lot of that knowledge gets lost right now. So it's interesting that Adam Grant is talking about being a giver as opposed to a taker because I think it's a very important piece. And so when you think about your organization, how are you giving, giving the tools to the folks that are on the front line of your organization who are subject matter experts who can share their knowledge and then also share their passions and what they're really get, what they really get excited about within the organization. I think that's going to be the future of learning and the future of training in organizations moving forward. So that was my daily burst, a little bit more than a minute. Have a great weekend. We'll see you on Monday.
