Put Your Know-How into Action
In Know Can Do! The founder of LMI, Paul J Meyer teams up with Ken Blanchard and Dick Ruhe to offer a simple and systematic approach for learning more efficiently and using that knowledge to make lasting changes.
This book addresses the gap that exists between what people know and what they actually do with this knowledge.
It identifies the three key reasons that people don’t make the leap from knowing to doing as
1) Information overload
2) Negative filtering and
3) Lack of follow up.
These are addressed by ‘learning less more’ rather than ‘more less’. Adjusting your brain’s filtering system to ignite your creativity and resourcefulness and mastering what you’ve learned by the use of spaced repetition and tracking.
If we define learning as a change in behaviour, then closing the knowing-doing gap is more action than words.
LMI programmes are based on the powerful learning approach laid out in this book.
