Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Why do leadership development programs fail to work?
The main reason leadership development programs don’t work is because of the lack of reinforcement needed for individuals - in this case your managers and team leads - to retain information. All too often, managers attend a one-off leadership training course, but forget what they’ve learnt almost immediately. For leadership training to be effective, managers need to be continually learning, and continually putting their newly acquired knowledge into practice. This guide will cover everything you need to know about this and more.

What is on-the-job learning?
On-the-job learning, by definition, is the learning of a new skill or process within an employee’s normal work environment.
It is a method of learning that enables employees to gain knowledge, practice skills, and apply their learnings all in the flow of work. It is quite simply learning by doing.
On-the-job learning is also often referred to as learning in the flow of work, a term coined by Josh Bersin, which involves accessing an answer or short piece of learning, quickly and easily, whilst working.
How to make learning stick?
One of the biggest problems with relying on traditional leadership development courses alone is that the learnings just don’t stick. In fact, according to Learning Solutions, employees that attend these training courses forget 70% of what they get taught within just 24 hours. Why? Because of the lack of reinforcement that’s necessary for individuals to retain information.
