Lesson 5: How to Learn With People Beside You
Peer accountability lays the groundwork for self-accountability.
In the book Difficult Conversations*, this legend is retold:
After observing O Sensei, the founder of Aikido, sparring with an accomplished fighter, a young student said to the master, “You never lose your balance. What is your secret?” “You are wrong,” O Sensei replied. “I am constantly losing my balance. My skill lies in my ability to regain it.”
Just get started when learning with people beside you. If you do, you’ll discover a lot — even if you occasionally move in the wrong direction.
