You praise them for smashing the mole and the cycle repeats, emergency after emergency. Soon, everyone is busy playing Whack-a-Mole or firefighting. This practice is a harsh reality that many organizations face today.

Even the most effective leaders recognize how much is outside of their control, but one thing we all have agency over is how we communicate with others. Clearly articulated requests, the kinds that elicit real responses, don’t come naturally to most of us. As it turns out, there’s an art to the request — whether it’s directed at an employee who’s producing subpar deliverables or a colleague from a different department who hasn’t been pulling their weight on a collaborative project.

Sending your team members on a training course should be a fantastic opportunity: for them to learn new things, for you to see them doing new things, for you to save some of your precious time, and ultimately to enable your organisation to do more, or do better. However, training isn’t cheap – it takes your team member away from their job, it often costs money and expenses, and it can therefore be incredibly frustrating if you don’t see a return on this investment.
