Sometimes you have the Perfect bible verse that makes your point
Training is Transfer
II Timothy 2:2
“The things you have heard me say, in the presence of many witnesses, entrust to reliable men, who will also be able to teach others.”
- Pitfall #1 – Treating training like an event – not an ongoing program. Training is not somethng you did – it is something you do.
- CEU’s
- You have Meetings where you come together for the purpose of Training!
- MEETINGS are essential. CLASSROOM TIME
2. #2 – Not having a training program.
Elements of a Training Program:
- A start date and end date
- A Trainer
- A Standard. A recipe.
- A desired outcome
- Information. Verbal and Written
- Forms
- Training Aids
3. #3 – not having a Trainer – a train the trainer program.
- NOT JUST trained in the Work – BUT … trained in how to train.
- Don’t assume your top employee is a good trainer.
- Proficeincy in Doing the Works does not equal proficincy in Teaching the work
- How to know?
- Ask the trainee
- You have a STANDARD – the manual
4. #4 – not Inspecting what you expect – What you Tolerate You Encourage
- Training Requires Follow Up
- Follow Up MANY TIME …SHOWING UP. Go to the place where the work is happening…
- Genchi genbutsu – The Japanese word for – Show up and Go see. (pronounced: JEN-CHI JEN-BUTSU)
5. #5 – Not using Forms – FORMS ARE KING
CHECKLISTS – the checklist Manifesto
MEMORIZATION
6. #6 – Not using systems
- Systems are what create great companies
- Systems are Recipes
- See EPISODE 4 on systems
7. #7 – Not having documented training manuals.
- A training manual increases the level of respect instantly
- THE WRITTEN WORD
- See EPISODE 5 – on systems manuals
