The Power of TRAINING: How to create more effective team members by increasing their performance, unleashing their potential, and encouraging their development.

What new skills or abilities have you acquired in the past twelve months? What contributions have you made to your position since this time last year? And what are you doing about it? This book is about TRAINING, which is your ability to create more effective team members by enhancing their performance, unleashing their potential, and encouraging their development. Effective people know how critical training is for their team members. If you're the boss, you have the most to lose if your team fails to consistently produce excellent results. Training your team members is the best way to add value to all those who help you produce your results. If you have any desire to consistently produce excellent results and to sustain those results, you need to assume a more active role in training your team members. If you're responsible for their results, you're responsible for how your team produces those results and how to make them better. Here you'll learn how to: Select team member tasks, create learning objectives, create a playbook, and select the best time to train. Use the adult learning model and role-playing, train-the-trainer, and create a learning environment. Conduct a performance review, coach for peak performance, and give and receive feedback. Set and achieve goals, understand business training, and make a presentation. Overcome fear, expand your learning zone, and demonstrate moral courage. Build effective teams, build trust, and collaborate and build consensus with a team. Know when to act, wait, or walk away when faced with a problem. Conduct a risk assessment, mitigate risk, and create contingency and mitigation plans. Anticipate unintended consequences and second and third-order effects. Collaborate and build consensus with a team and keep track of all the moving parts. And much, much, more! This book is unique because it: Contains the most actionable tactics, techniques, and tools (or best practices) used every day by the most effective and successful people in their field. Is designed to teach you what to do (the tactics) and how to do it (the techniques). Gives you everything you need (the tools) to make it happen. Will cause those around you to ask, how did you know how to do that? Applies to everyone in the workforce, regardless of your role, title, or level of authority. I speak from 24 years as a US Army Officer and 20 years as an executive coach in Corporate America, searching for the answer to this simple question: Why are some people more effective than others? Training is also one of these eleven core competencies of your effectiveness at work: Followership, Delegating, Planning, Organizing, Communicating, Problem-Solving, Decision-Making, Awareness, Training, Motivation and Character.This book is for anyone who reports to another person for their work assignments and wants to become more effective and successful at work. This includes employees working for an employer, small business owners, entrepreneurs, and the self-employed working for a customer, client, or patient. This book is for everyone in the workforce, regardless of your occupation, position, or level of authority. Your effectiveness at work is always a measure of your ability to: Consistently produce excellent results. Add value to all those who helped you produce your results. And this is the part most people forget. You may be the top producer, but if you haven't added value to all those who've helped you produce your results, especially your boss, you'll never become effective or successful, period, end-of-story!
