The main point of this article is that greater leaning is achieved during periods of difficulty or stress. But what I like is the way the author looks at "second-order learning" in difficult learning situations. Three modes of second-order learning are enumerated: return mapping, in which a recently completed project is subjected to intense and disciplined scrutiny; scenario building; and leading change, which involves being forced to confront an intentional disruption.
