Four Ways Leaders Make Learning Stick

Recently, I was meeting with the executive team at a large distribution company. We were discussing current training I was conducting with the company’s 60 leaders. The training was focused on coaching skills.

“This coaching thing – will it be like everything else?” said Ian, out of the blue. Ian is the VP of technology.

“What do you mean?” I asked.

“How long till it sticks?”

Ian went on to explain his recent frustrations with the leaders in his department. “Every one of them has special project goals this year. I’m constantly checking in to get status reports. They’re supposed to do quarterly performance reviews with their teams. I have to remind them to get those done, too. How will this training be any different? When will it just stick?”
