This is the Read to Lead podcast, episode 533.

I tend to think that if we treated our office jobs, if we treated our workplace jobs,

more like the chess player preparing for the World Series tournament or

more like the Olympic sprinter who's getting guidance from their coach, we would see just an

explosion in proficiency in many domains. Whether you're a student studying for an exam, an employee

facing a new skill at work, or someone who just wants to get better at anything of interest,

you're in the right place. Today, you'll learn how anyone can improve their performance,

develop new expertise, and experience personal and professional growth. I am Jeff. This is the

Reed to Lead podcast, the podcast that's dedicated to those two things, your personal and professional growth.

I believe that if you want to achieve true success in your business and in your life,

intentional and consistent reading is a must.

Today, our guest is Scott H. Young. He's the author of Get Better at Anything,

12 maxims for mastery.

I'll be asking Scott to share about how what we learn from others impacts the complexity of the problems we can solve, imitation as the seed to original work, the role courage

plays in mastery, and much more.

If you like what you hear today, you'll want to join me next month,

along with other members of the Read to Lead community on July to 18th, as we welcome Scott

in for a private chat about many of these concepts. So we'll go even deeper than he and I are

able to go in today's conversation. If you're not currently a Read to Lead Plus member and getting all the benefits that membership provides,

you can sign up for a free trial right now and ensure that you're able to join us for next month's

private session with Scott.

The place to go is simply jeff brown dot me.
