I find Eduardo Briceño’s really fascinating TED video.
It speaks of the ‘performance zone’ and ‘learning area.’ It strikes me with a chord and I want to share it with others.
Would you get trapped even though you try as hard as you can? Will you find like you are not getting better as easily as you want to? Perhaps it is time to understand the gap between the zone of performance and the zone of learning.
Performance zone vs Learning zone by Eduardo Briceño
“Performance zone” is a smooth performance environment and loss is expensive. There is no error detection system. The Training Zone, on the opposite, is where failures are predicted (or sometimes promoted) and failure is part of the research process.
You still have to follow due dates, deadlines, launches, when you’re like me (or someone in Silicon Valley’s IT company). In other words, “Success Zone” has always been our focus. The problem is that we have managed so much and that we are not good at so many things. When we are still in a successful environment, we will never know new things. We feel trapped, no wonder. We don’t have anything new to sell.
It is time to enter the “Learning zone,” where we can play with new ideas without being scared of disappointment. This seems familiar. It reminds me of the 20% free time schedule of Google. This allows staff to remain in the research field, pursuing something not connected specifically to the present work. It leads to the growth of Google in part, I agree.
We do so with a certain degree subconsciously. We attend classes, read articles and books, engage in school, etc. Those are “learning environment” examples. The aim is to do so deliberately. It’s OK for me to try, make mistakes, look silly, ask stupid questions, make a fool of myself.’ we should say to ourselves “I’m in the research field now.
It is important for individual success not only “learning zone, but” it is also vital to team performance or business results. Seek and encourage and develop the team’s learning environment and strengthen them as well. Create a safety net for them so that they don’t hate mistakes. You will be awarded this unexpectedly.
