The four levels of learning

Hey guys!

I was chatting with my friend Randy the other day, and he said something interesting to me tht I thought I would share…

Randy is the manager at The Cigar Bar, which is one of my “satellite offices” here in South Florida… One of the places where I work when I get tired of my home office.

Anyways, Randy told me he explains to his employees the “four levels of learning” and they go like this:

1. Unconcious Incompetience. This is the first stage of learning… You basically don’t know anything… And you don’t even realize how little you know.

2. Concious Incompetience. This is where it dawns on you how little you really know, and how much you have to learn. You still suck at what you are tryint to do, but now you realize it. This is like, a wake up call for most people.

3. Concious Competience. Now you know the job… But you really have to focus, and pay attention to do it well.

4. Unconcious Competience. The fourth stage of learning. Now you know the job so well you can do it in your sleep.

Anyways, I found this interesting.
