If you want to build the skills of your employees, you need to stop thinking and start doing. Active practice is a great form of learning and if you plan to do more of it, I recommend practicing more. People who practice more usually gain new knowledge, which eventually helps them specialize in a chosen skill for an extended period of time.

If you want to be valuable to others, make sure you don’t just learn, but express that knowledge. Even more important, practice is the only way to make a meaningful contribution with your knowledge.
