Steve Olson: Beyond Experience, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Experience is a powerful teacher. But it isn't always a wise one.

Many of us assume that time on the job naturally leads to better decisions, stronger leadership, and deeper understanding. But in reality, experience alone can trap us in habits, reinforce outdated methods, and quietly repeat the very patterns we once struggled under.

In Beyond Experience: The Path from Doing to Knowing to Wisdom, educator and leadership storyteller Steve Olson explores why growth so often stalls, and what it actually takes to move from simply doing a job to doing it well and wisely.

Drawing on real-life stories from education, broadcasting, leadership, and life on the road, Olson examines how:

• Experience can become an unexamined loop instead of a source of growth

• Knowledge can challenge comfortable habits and open new perspectives

• Reflection transforms moments into lasting learning

• Wisdom shows up not just in what we know, but in how we choose to act

This is not a book of quick tips or management formulas. It is an invitation to slow down, question familiar patterns, and rediscover how learning, humility, and self-awareness shape better leaders and more grounded lives.

Written for mid-career professionals, emerging leaders, and anyone navigating change, Beyond Experience offers a thoughtful guide for those who sense that "more time" is not the same as "more wisdom," and who are ready to build something deeper from the experience they already have.

If you've ever wondered whether you're still growing or simply repeating what once worked, this book is your invitation to pause, reflect, and choose a wiser path forward.
