Develop your knowledge of a certain topic

Instructions

Learn the core principles rather than the facts.
Instead of cramming facts to pass an exam, focus on understanding and applying the first principles of that particular topic. Instead of using gimmicks to get your employees to work together, learn the basic principles of creating a unified team. Once you understand the ‘why’ and ‘how’ of something, you can easily apply that knowledge throughout your life.
Read books to leverage the expertise of others.
Instead of trying to solve a problem from scratch, find a book written by an expert in that field. If you’re struggling with your finances, read a personal finance book. Prioritize classic books because their wisdom is timeless. Always take a few minutes to summarize what you’ve learned in each book.
Use existing knowledge to develop your unique knowledge.
Take whatever knowledge you’ve learned from others and find ways to make it uniquely work for you. For example, read about the best entrepreneurship principles and then tweak them to create a unique business model. Keep refining your unique knowledge, and people will flock to you for your expertise when you become an expert.
Teach others to enhance your understanding.
If you’ve studied a topic, find someone interested in it and explain it to them. Talk to a friend about an interesting book you’ve read. Teaching others helps embed the knowledge in your mind.
Practice what you teach.
If your employees struggle to understand and implement a new idea, gather and teach a pilot group first. Then, have each member come to the front of the room and explain it to others. Once everyone in the group has mastered it, ask them to go out and teach the new idea to their teams.
