Try to get something done involving real people. Company stuff, volunteer work, leading a project somewhere. It is more difficult than it looks.

Also: work on getting well organized your self. Successful organization are such because they hire successful people (or actually manage to train them.) Much business literature has a focus on motivation, and not that much on how to actually do the work.

Report back in a while, with what you learned.
