Seven principles when helping people to learn

People know more then they think they know
Everyone has resources for improving performance
Useful questions are worth more than commands
Each person is responsible for their own contribution to the organisation
Every set back provides a learning opportunity
Experiments precede learning
Challenging but achievable goals bring out the best in people
