Covid-19 has been and remains a major adaptive challenge for every person and organization. It has illuminated how hard it is for us to adapt our routines, our ways of being and our ways of working. Workers have been forced to become “hyper-learners,” defined as a person who excels at learning, unlearning, and relearning at the pace of change.
Edward D. Hess, Professor of Business Administration at the Darden Graduate School of Business at the University of Virginia, is the author of the new book Hyper-Learning: How to Adapt to the Speed of Change (Sept. 2020). Hess shows how to harness the power of human emotions, choices, and behaviors to enable the highest levels of human cognitive, emotional, and behavioral performance–individually and organizationally.
