Description: "In this groundbreaking shift to how we approach learning, best-selling author and business educator Carol Sanford offers a systemic, introspective approach to education and critical thinking. From the time we're able to learn, we take in knowledge from others. From our education system to how we work, we accept what leaders, experts, and the authorities tell us as fact. We are taught that others with more training and specialty degrees are the gatekeepers of truth. et, this practice of acceptance without validation leads us to design systems that feed polarization, faulty decision making, and poor leadership. No More Gold Stars answers the important question "How do we stop letting others think for us and instead learn to examine knowledge for ourselves?" If our current approach to learning undermines learning itself, it's time to dismantle the flawed behaviorism theory fueling such errors in our schools, families, and businesses and instead turn inward to be self-directed, critical thinkers."--
