Why Training Is Important
Many business leaders go with the assumption that working on
their team's psychology will solve problems. To an extent, that is true.
But that's a small extent.
However, what if you have somebody who hasn't the experience, joins your team for the first time and the approach you use on your current members is the same as you use on your rookie? Does that produce results?
Sure thing, if you want that rookie to quit.
Training is not all about talking and observing. That's teaching. Training is experiential, contrary to what the masses will or would say. When I mean experiential, I mean action. This involves role playing until it is perfect. Memorizing what needs to be memorized and testing it with other members of the team before trying it out there.
The only exception is if you're in a jungle. You have to survive. But that is automatic; you have legs to run with, hands to climb or fight with. You know it instinctively.
But what about talking to people, especially if you're marketing your business. Do you go with the psychology or do you practice, practice, practice until you get perfect.
Take a person who wants to join a football team, for example. Let's say you're the coach. Should you "teach" your rookie or should you "train" him/her?
If you use psychology to teach your rookie, sure, you'll get the rookie excited about playing football. Now, put that rookie against an opponent, a team that is made up of 80 players, while your rookie, who only knows about psychology of playing the sport, is the only one among his teammates with less than a day of experience.
I'm sorry to say, but that rookie is going to get their butt kicked. Why? Even if the rookie has the psychology of what it takes to be a football player, it doesn't mean they will be one.
Why?
Because what's missing is the skills to play the game. Let's make this scenario more extreme. Put a person into a boxing ring with Manny Paquito. That person only knows the psychology of the sport, but with no skills or training. Who is going to win?
Manny will walk all over that person in one, easy round.
Let's face it. We all need skills. If you already know your "Why" in life, then your next step is to get the "How". You might get the "How" either in the form of research, discovery, or you create it passively. Basically, you'll do whatever it takes, whether to practice, memorize, test, study, research and so forth.
If you're doing sales, network marketing, you know that it can be a scary thing to prospect or close. But if you already know your "Why", then it's all a matter of figuring out the "How". Most times, you will find that you have to teach yourself. It helps to have a Mentor that understand true leadership. A good Mentor and Leader does the very things that a Manager will not do.
Managers manage things. But they can also criticize, intimidate and most times hold you accountable.
A Coach, on the other hand, inspires you, encourages you, reminds you of why you do what you do, teaches you, shares the vision with you. But they also know that practice makes perfect and they would practice with you.
Take a look at the movie Karate Kid. Daniel Russo fell in love with a couple of beautiful girls (from the first and second movies, respectably) and wanted to get to know them. Heck, what man wouldn't?
But, like any movie, there is an opponent. An Antagonist. Someone who is going unleash hell. These girls that Daniel really liked had some sort of association with the opponent, the bully, etc. These bullies would beat Daniel to a pulp.
Daniel went through pain and some torn skin. But he already had a reason, a why: he wanted the girl and the only thing that was in his way was the bully. He didn't have any skills, but because of his reason, he sought for skills. Time and again, he would seek the tutelage of Mr. Miyagi.
Miyagi had to make sure that Daniel's mind and soul were in balance and check. He knew that Daniel already had this reasons. All he needed now were the skills, how to defend himself and fight back. Put those two together and you have a great warrior.
Daniel made mistakes. He gave up a couple of times. But his Mentor was there if Daniel wanted him.
Eventually, Daniel already knew enough from his mentor's training. The rest was up to him. If you saw both Karate Kid I and II, then you know who won the fights in the end.
If you know your why, you should already be seeking the how, any way you can.
You cannot go into a fight without the action training. But you cannot go into a battle without the mental game either, the strategy.
Great followers become great leaders.
Anyone who just jumps out of a crowd and proclaims that they have a better way of doing something, is a seer of a vision. But this doesn't make the person a Leader. A Leader puts a vision to action. A Visionary only comes up with a solution; A Leader has people buy into the Vision and Leads Them To Action. If the person doesn't lead them to action, that is not a leader at all. Like I said, that is a person who comes up with ideas or has vision.
If that person, who jumps out of a crowd and proclaims "a better way of doing things and doesn't get people to follow him/her, what the person should do is not give up, but figure a way to get people to buy into the vision.
Bottom line: Great Leaders set an example and lead by it, not proclaim an idea. Bill Gates did this. He did not invent MS-DOS. He saw an opportunity, got the funds to buy MS-DOS, built a team, then lead them to build the company that is Microsoft today.
A Great Leader Trains their Followers
Soldiers, when going to war, need to follow their leader. There are plans to follow, but the road to achieving their objectives are never straight. So the Leader must pick the right soldiers and train them to win. There are only two choices as a soldier: come home alive, or have people keep your memory alive. I think Leaders will do whatever it takes to have their entire team come home alive.
Training is so important. It takes blood, sweat and tears. Team training should be no different.
If you want your team to bring home the prize, you've got to do whatever it takes as a leader. You've got to inspire and you've got to make them professional.
However, what if you have somebody who hasn't the experience, joins your team for the first time and the approach you use on your current members is the same as you use on your rookie? Does that produce results?
