There is a general laziness gripping most of the world\u2014especially the West. It is a laziness of language, and that laziness of language relates to \u201cteaching,\u201d which is conflated with \u201ctraining,\u201d \u201clearning,\u201d \u201csharing,\u201d \u201cpresenting,\u201d and \u201cdevelopment.\u201d <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

The specific issue\u00a0addressed\u00a0in this article\u00a0is the word \u201ctraining.\u201d We have \u201ctraining\u201d on\u00a0\u201cHard Skills,\u201d such as programming, financial software, and manufacturing processes.\u00a0We also have training\u00a0in\u00a0Professional\u00a0Skills,\u00a0<\/span>which are meant\u00a0to equip employees with skills that focus on interpersonal interactions\u2014communication, delegation, feedback, etc. Also, in this bucket are such skills as critical thinking and problem-solving.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

More and more\u00a0people are writing about (and talking about) the fact that, just because you went to a training on how to give feedback,\u00a0it\u00a0doesn\u2019t\u00a0necessarily mean you are now able to give meaningful feedback.\u00a0Or you go to\u00a0a training\u00a0on negotiations, but you still struggle to get the outcomes you want.\u00a0Why is that?<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Part of the confusion is in the term \u201ctraining\u201d itself. According to\u00a0<\/span><\/span>TheFreeDictionary<\/span><\/span><\/a>, the term \u201ctraining\u201d is defined as, \u201c<\/span><\/span>the<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>process<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>of<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>bringing<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>a<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>person,<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>etc<\/span>.<\/span>,<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>to<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>an<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>agreed<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>standard<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>of<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>proficiency,<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>etc<\/span>.<\/span>,<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>by<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>practice<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>and<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>instruction<\/span><\/span>.\u201d <\/span>So, if\u00a0<\/span>we\u2019re<\/span>\u00a0training dogs, the standards of\u00a0<\/span>proficiency<\/span>\u00a0are clear: \u201cCome!\u201d \u201cGo!\u201d \u201cSit!\u201d\u00a0<\/span>\u201cS<\/span>tay<\/span>!\u201d<\/span>\u00a0and\u00a0<\/span>\u201cN<\/span>o<\/span>!\u201d<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

But what are the \u201cagreed standards of proficiency\u201d for writing emails, delivery presentations, running meetings? Or even more to the point, the standards for delegating (tasks, projects, processes), thinking critically, being proactive, or defining strategy?<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Yes, these are skills and yes, we can help people learn these skills. But what would the \u201ctraining\u201d look like? Can you even \u201ctrain\u201d these skills. Is it not more of a process?<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

In most activities, we can break down the activity into sub-elements and practice these. Some examples include scales and arpeggios in music, dribbling and shooting in basketball, dribbling and shooting in soccer, etc. But what about human interactions? What are the activities? How can we break them down? And how can we even comprehend all of the disparate elements that each of these activities comprises?<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

In order to<\/span>\u00a0\u201ctrain\u201d in these areas, we need 2 things:<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>
<\/span>1. We need the agreed upon standards that apply to everyone, and<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>
<\/span>2. We need to break down the activities into repeatable, executable tasks that can be trained.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>
<\/span>\u201cAye, there\u2019s the rub!\u201d Neither of those 2 things exist. There are some activities that are \u201cout of bounds,\u201d but there are no universal standards everyone is held to. And since there are no universal standards, there is no way to break them down to develop real training programs. So, what to do?<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Part of the answer can be found in the title of the management book by Max DePree, <\/span><\/span>Leadership is an Art<\/span><\/span>. <\/span>Just as we can practice scales and arpeggios to improve our technical skills, it takes something \u201cmore\u201d to develop our skills as a musician. How do we move from exercises and etudes to music?<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Children could be a good example here. We train our children in certain skills: brushing their teeth, tying their shoes, cleaning their room, etc. At the same time, we need to develop skills like sympathy\/empathy, sharing, helpfulness, kindness, etc. Many (most? all?) of these skills are \u201ccaught\u201d not taught. The old adage \u201cdo what I say, not what I do\u201d is key here. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

When I worked with children\u2019s workers years ago, I drove\u00a0home\u00a0this idea of \u201ccaught, not taught\u201d\u00a0with these 3 questions:<\/span>\u00a0
\u00a0 \u2013 How many of you have some\u00a0behavior\u00a0that you\u00a0don\u2019t\u00a0like?<\/span>\u00a0
\u00a0 \u2013 How many of you have children?<\/span>\u00a0
\u00a0 \u2013 How many of you see in your children those\u00a0behaviors\u00a0you\u00a0don\u2019t\u00a0like?<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Everybody raises their hands for Question 1. Those who have children raise\u00a0their hands for Question 2. And\u00a0<\/span>everyone<\/span><\/i><\/b>\u00a0who has children raises their hands for Question 3. Children watch us and see what we are doing\u2014they imitate us.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Here\u2019s\u00a0the catch: employees do the same thing. Every company has values. But those values are only meaningful if leadership follows them\u2014if their actions follow their words. And values in an organization are only important if they are applied when it hurts\u2026when\u00a0it\u2019s\u00a0inconvenient.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

That entire process is not \u201ctraining.\u201d It is how we develop the next generation\u2014how we develop our children\u2026how we develop our employees\u2026how we develop our leaders.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

To summarize, we may look for a \u201ctraining on feedback\u201d or \u201cdelegation\u201d or what-have-you. But those\u00a0trainings\u00a0are\u00a0most likely only\u00a0informational sessions that will give you some ideas on how to do certain things.\u00a0If\u00a0they\u2019re\u00a0\u201cgood\u201d\u00a0trainings,\u00a0you\u2019ll\u00a0get some opportunities to practice what you learn.\u00a0At the same time,\u00a0the real\u00a0learning and development will take place as you put those ideas into practice\u00a0in your everyday life. And\u00a0that kind of practice requires someone to get feedback from\u2014a mentor, a trainer, a teacher, a \u201cmaster.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Who were the people in your life who helped develop you\u2026who invested in your growth and development? Have you thanked them? Have you passed on what you have learned? Training programs can give some skills\/tools. To master using those\u00a0skills\/tools requires work\u2014sometimes years of work. That\u00a0work can be made more effective and efficient when someone invests in you and helps you apply what you have learned. Or\u00a0it can be\u00a0work\u00a0that\u00a0you can make more effective and efficient by investing in someone else to help them apply what they have learned.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

So, how will you develop yourself?\u00a0Who will be your teacher\/mentor\/trainer?\u00a0And how will you develop someone else?\u00a0Whom\u00a0can you help to\u00a0grow?<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>
