Listen "Learning to Walk"
Episode Synopsis
A lot of businesses forget about the process of learning and only focus on getting the tasks they’re set to do right first time. However, in this episode Lee reminds us of how important it is to remember how we learn and how we can use failures to improve.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
When we learn to walk we don’t just walk, we fall, get back up, fall, get back up and fall until you’re able to walk consistently.
Allow people to fail in a safe environment and encourage them to get back up and learn from their failures.
Whatever process we’re in there’s players who actually do the doing and the leaders who don’t usually do any of the doing. You can’t be good at both at the same time.
Assess where you and your team are but don’t do the doing for them. Allow them to do what they’re set to do.
Doing this will allow people to develop and allow them to learn. If you’re do things for them then they wont be able to learn and improve from their mistakes.
BEST MOMENTS
‘Let them fail’
‘Think of your process’
‘Everyone should know their roles.’
