Unlock the secrets to developing the next level leader. What can we learn about the adult learning pearls by building a paper airplane? There is a little more to it than meets the eye.
The problem with most adult learning is failure to identify just what type of learner one may be. You may successfully train yourself or another in one task only to be perplexed why no one else “gets it”. In addition the field is not barren when it comes to barriers to adult learning.
In todays world we face time constraints, lack of motivation, distractions, and cognitive bias as common workplace challenges. Post pandemic 2023 has pointed the spot light on how crucial leadership training and extended adult learning opportunities are. In order to be an effective leader we must avoid the barriers to critical thinking that are so apparent in todays cross generational work place climate.
These barriers often present themselves as lack of respect for reason, intellectual arrogance, unwillingness to listen, intellectual laziness, and lack of respect for the evidence. These barriers to critical thinking don’t just come out of nowhere within the workplace. They come from disempowering patterns such as giving people the answer and telling them what to do. Ignoring people and doing nothing. Allowing people to fail vs a timely redirection. Celebrating “MacGyver” like bravado instead of using best practices and polices.
Introducing Illuminated Training “Next Level Leadership” A full spectrum interactive e-learning experience to build a Next Level certified leader in just 10 days.
Most people are promoted to a leadership role because of their ability to do their job well. Some even feel that the promotion is the pinnacle of success and that nothing else is needed but to point and direct their staff. Unfortunately, many have never had any formal leadership training, and most don’t even know that this exists. In the Next Level Leadership curriculum, we will begin with basic adult learning concepts and then build on our understanding of how to communicate and develop buy-in and teamwork. Upon completion of this curriculum, the learner will leave with an increased level of confidence and actual tools that they can use to better lead and influence their team.
