Learning How to Learn

I was recently reading a short book entitled “Managing Organizational Change” and came across a great quote that is very applicable to pastors:

Today, it is more important for workers [or pastors] not to know a particular set of skills; but to understand how to learn. To be successful, people today have to master how to learn a wide range of new skills quickly. They have to be open to changing old ways of doing things in order to learn new tasks and adapt on new skills. Most can’t stay narrowly specialized, they must become generalists.
