“Want To Learn Something New?”

Learn Do Teach

The quickest way to grow your team is to encourage them to teach one another.

Not through lunch and learns or organized meetings to recap something that was done. These events make others aware of knowledge that is out there, but it doesn’t contribute to the experience of the team.

At work we’re focusing on a cycle of learning, doing and teaching. Most organizations rock at doing, it’s what each employee is employed to do. Learning is often done on the go, out of desire to grow individually, and to gain an advantage over other businesses. The weakest link is teaching.

The strongest action you can take is to ask someone if they want to learn something new. To walk them through an action; not to recap it in a group setting, but to repeat the doing in a 1-1 environment.

You may be a rock star, but what are you doing to teach others to be?
