It's in their background somewhere, maybe they taught themselves how to crotchet, fly fish, cook, play a musical instrument....it's in their background if you look hard enough for it. These same firms will then take the very key step of nurturing continuous learning as a behavior. When the employee learns something new it is reinforced through celebration, a verbal 'good job that's what we are looking for' and even failed attempts to learn if a sincere effort has been made are praised. This leads to those who display the behavior repeating it and those who are on the fence seeing the benefit or 'What in it for me.' value proposition.

That is why young children, before they are aware of their own self-importance, learn so easily. ~Thomas Szasz The illiterate of the 21st century will not be those who cannot read and write, but those who cannot learn, unlearn, and relearn. ~Alvin Toffler That's what they said on the subject..
