Welcome to the HBRidecast from Harvard Business Review. I'm Alison Beard.

In times of great change, it's more important than ever for people, teams, and organizations

to focus on learning.

We need to reskill and upskill, build new knowledge bases, and adapt to different ways

of working.

And given how quickly new technologies and tools like generative AI are advancing today,

this isn't just a nice to have anymore. It's a must.

But how do leaders motivate and organize everyone for effective learning?

How do you build a culture where people are eager for improvement and development,

and the training they get actually helps them achieve their personal and your collective goals.

Our guest today says there's more than one way to do it well.

Through interviews with executives who oversee learning at a range of companies around the world,

he's identified three models for leading those efforts.

You can be a custodian, a challenger, or a connector.

He's here to outline the pros and cons of each style, and to explain how any team can

foster a stronger learning culture.

Gianpiero Petrigliere is an associate professor of organizational behavior at Insiaad, and the author

of the HBR article, Three Ways to Lead Learning.

Gianpiero, welcome.

Great to be here.

First, let's talk about the demand for upskilling.

Why has it been accelerating?
