Where are you on your career's learning curve

When you start a new job or get promoted, most people go through a learning curve. Inevitably, people slip into auto pilot - especially in roles with repeated processes such as sales, finance or administration. It can be difficult to maintain motivation when faced with the 'same old, same old'. The sudden change in the business environment has come as a shock to many managers or team leaders. Working through a recession is a new experience for many people. It can be challenging for managers with responsibility for maintaining productive teams when the individuals on the team are fearful or preoccupied by external factors.
