Here are a few facts that will keep you awake at night:
- People report having 1% of their time for learning according to a recent Deloitte study. That’s less than 5 minutes a day or 24 minutes a week.
- Today’s leaders aren’t doing too hot a job. Half those who leave their jobs do so to get away from the manager according to Gallop.
- US companies spend $14 billion annually on leadership development. Yet, we struggle to develop skilled leaders.
- A talent crisis is emerging as the job market opens. Those eager for promotion go elsewhere if opportunities for growth and development aren’t readily available
Is it possible to build strong leaders in less than 24 minutes a week? Our research and experience says “yes.” And the answer is not what you might think.
Micro-lessons are all the rage – podcasts and video snippets delivered to your inbox. While informative, they don’t provide lasting learning, real development or measurable growth. To do that, amp up your micro-lessons with the following:
- Targeted, accountable skill development: Enable people to assess their skill level before and after engaging in a lesson.
- In-the-moment help: Provide access to authentic help not just a micro job aid. Connect people – anytime, anywhere – to real experts who can help them with their unique dilemmas.
- The opportunity for practice and feedback: Don’t neglect this fundamental piece of the learning process.
- Social learning: Tap into the power of peer learning. Enable people to give and get feedback from their colleagues.
- Follow-up support: Ensure skill and know-how are used (and stretched) on the job.
- Recognition that time is pressed and compressed: Deliver everything in micro-bursts.
