When we fail or run into obstacles, our first response which we look for external or technical explanations for our difficulties. We blame other people, we blame our environment, we blame the market.
There’s a much more effective alternative,
Less common but vastly more effective is the cognitive approach that called double-loop learning. In this mode, we question every aspect of our approach, including our methodology, biases, and deeply held assumptions. This more psychologically nuanced self-examination requires that we honestly challenge our beliefs and summon the courage to act on that information, which may lead to fresh ways of thinking about our lives and our goals.
The successful people — in business, entertainment, sports and the arts — all had similar responses when faced with obstacles: they subjected themselves to fairly merciless self-examination that prompted reinvention of their goals and the methods by which they endeavored to achieve them.“
It’s a technique that’s neither easy nor fun. It requires admitting, at times, that there are problems with you, with your idea, and with your approach. It’s much easier to blame an external factor, and to think that your approach will work next time with harder work and a bit more luck.
But what that called – “self-assessment” is essential for breaking out of a feedback loop that can quickly make a career or business stagnate.
Because it’s so difficult, it’s a huge advantage for the people who manage to be uniquely self-aware.
