Motivation Key Question Four Do you really help your people to both learn and develop



Motivation Key Question Four Do you really help your people to both learn and develop
   

They need to learn something? Okay – let's send them on a training course – that’ll achieve this one! Well, of course it might – if it’s the right course, properly prepared-for and debriefed afterwards. And, if your people then have on-going opportunities to put their learning into practice. But, sadly, this often doesn’t happen. Either no such training is offered (because of financial constraints); or the course is seen in isolation from the “real world”

But, how else can you help your people learn and develop? Well, lots of ways. Here are some examples:

# Business debriefs: taking time to find out – either singly or in small teams or groups – what your people have actually learned from the daily challenges and troubles of their role. To paraphrase an old saying: do you have five years’ experience in this business – or the same year’s experience simply repeated five times?

# Set learning challenges: ask your people to find out – and then present to the group – important new information covering key business areas. With the internet alone, the knowledge of any subject can be substantially increased # Agree personal development programmes: talk to your people; find out what they want to achieve, how they want to develop. Then, working together, set and operate a development programme to help them get there # Devise development projects: remembering the earlier points about empowerment, develop projects covering key business areas which your people – individually, or in teams – can work through I’m sure you can find more examples of ways to help your people learn and develop. But, remember the other points covered earlier in this series of articles. Find ways to honour and reward their successes in such tasks - and do so in a way that's really important to them POINT TO PONDER Whenever you see an "unmotivated" person - please remember this: they might actually be a motivated person in an unmotivated situation. For example, seemingly bored workers might be enthusiatic coaches of a little league team. So, it's really all about finding the "motivators" for any specific moment or activity!
