Laura Carstensen, Professor in Public Policy at Stanford University notes that we are simply not built to cope with thinking about the future:
"Humans are wired to live in the present, not plan for the future. Our evolutionary survival hinged on our adroitness in dealing with the problems of the here and now, not our ability to stock-pile resources and make plans for some vague distant future we might never enjoy. If anything, biology tells us to eat, drink and be merry, for tomorrow we die.”

We can have more control over our learning at work if we make building high-quality connections a priority.

A concerning piece of data on a number of levels. Research is about understanding where you are, what you should be doing and where you should be going. It is there to reduce uncertainty in organisations’ decision making. As the Lewis Carroll quote says: "If you don’t know where you are going, any road will get you there."
