Breakthrough Learning

TL;DR: Breakthrough learning milestone conditions and mobilization strategies are explored in the next chapters.

Abstract: Abstract For the last five years we’ve been keeping track of Category IV activities and, in particular, the conditions under which people achieve breakthrough results. We’ve observed people at work and analyzed their conversations. We’ve interviewed people who we heard had broken through self-limiting orientations that, for years, they had resisted changing. And we’ve conducted research in which we’ve asked people to anonymously fill out questionnaires in which we ask them to describe a “breakthrough lesson” and the circumstances that were present when it occurred in search of “milestone” conditions. Describing these milestone conditions required for break­ through learning and specifying how you can mobilize them are the topics of this and the next three chapters.
