With the spotlight on the VBM’s “professional” domain in the virtuous leader domain, critically reflect on the article reading for this exercise using the four “Literary Executive” questions:
What did you learn?
How did you discover that?
Why is it important?
So what?
The four questions to growing as a literary executive will help you move beyond experience for its sake alone, to recognize that learning can—with intentionality—be made more explicit, concrete, and applicable to your life. For this exercise, you will use the four questions in the context of the professional domain of the virtuous business model. Refer to Figure 1.
Trivia Question: Did you know that Warren Buffet spends about 80% of his daily time reading? Why does he do that? Warren says it is so that when issues come across his desk, he does not have to spend so much time gathering new insight because he has much of the information readily available to him (The Buffet Formula, n.d.) through his intentional “literary executive” experiences. (See the “Competent DBA” PowerPoint in the Resources for Getting Started section of the ADP Experience for more information.)
