Listeners will learn how to distinguish between individual performance issues and broader organizational challenges, the importance of proper documentation and resource availability, and the critical role of feedback in driving behavioral change. The episode offers practical guidance for managers looking to implement effective training that truly impacts performance, while also previewing a series of upcoming conversations with learning leaders from major organizations.
