Why Your Team Still Doesn’t Get It | Ep 899

You explained it. You assigned it. Your team still isn’t doing it. But did you actually teach it? Handing someone a script and saying “let me know if you have questions” leaves most of the learning unfinished. In this episode, I walk through five laws of learning: explanation, demonstration, imitation, correction, and repetition. Using a new salesperson as the example, I break down how to turn instructions into skills your team can use when the pressure is on. We cover why leaders need to demonstrate the work, how to give feedback that changes the next attempt, and why you should measure practice in reps instead of weeks. I also share examples from Andy Grove, Danny Meyer, and Yvon Chouinard—and explain why teaching helps your team perform without you standing beside them.
