31: Five Effective Ways to Train the People You Lead

Whether you have access to many training resources or none at all, there is a lot you can do as a leader to train others. In this episode, we’ll examine 5 effective ways you can train the people you lead.

1. Hold a Class

This is a great tool when lots of people need to learn something at the same time
Ask yourself, “What do I want people walking out of this room doing differently?”
Focus on the objectives instead of the logistics

2. On-the-Job Training

This is helpful when the learning lends itself to this, there are less resources or time available, or if there is a very small number of people involved
A lot of organizations talk about on-the-job training, but few really do it
Be clear on what you want the person to learn during an established time period and design for that

3. Role-Playing

This is helpful when teaching something that requires a lot of human interaction and thinking on your feet.
Your steps: demonstrate – practice – coaching/feedback
Try to use a “real-play” if at all possible

4. Online learning

Helpful when you need to repeat and scale
You can do this yourself if you don’t have the resources of a large organization or outsource it

5. Social Learning

Connectivism: Most knowledge exists in the world rather than in the head of any single individual
I’m part of a year-long mastermind group
Suggesting relationships, bringing in websites, videos, and podcasts to share with those you lead
