Do you depend on your managers, supervisors, and internal experts to teach employees?  Are you assuming these internal educators can teach effectively without being taught how to teach?...John

Management idea

The most effective training is coaching, mentoring, and peer training. We have a client that identified 47 employees that are directly involved in teaching other employees.  The success of their company hinges on the effectiveness these internal educators' teaching skills.  Operators get trained on operating their machines, salesmen get coached on selling skills, and managers get mentored on management skills.

When brainstorming for ways to dramatically improve productivity we turned to maximizing the internal educators' teaching skills.  Improving their teaching skills would have an major impact. The client hired a former teacher to develop the teaching skills of their 47 internal educators.  The teacher had an immediate impact.
