Who owns learning and development in your business? L&D right???? And yet many Senior Leaders and Business owners are left wondering why the expensive Leadership Training course hasn't changed their culture or made the impact they were looking for. In my experience there needs to be a level of commitment from the business to own the continuation of learning for everyone. Recently, I have been working with a local business to enhance their learning culture and it is interesting and exciting how quickly a culture can begin to shift in the intended direction. There are both short and long term approaches that can be adopted. Here are five questions I have taken from 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗙𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗰𝗶𝗽𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗮 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗢𝗿𝗴𝗮𝗻𝗶𝘀𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻-Peter Senge, that could help you understand your Learning Culture within your Organisation. 💡 𝗣𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗠𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘆 As a leader, are you modelling growth and self development, or expecting it from others without doing the same? 💡 𝗠𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗠𝗼𝗱𝗲𝗹𝘀 What beliefs or past experiences might be shaping your decisions without you even realising it? 💡 𝗦𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝗩𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 Have you clearly communicated where the business is going in a way your people genuinely connect with? 💡 𝗧𝗲𝗮𝗺 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 Are you creating an environment where your team feels safe to challenge, contribute and learn together? 💡 𝗦𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺𝘀 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 When challenges arise, are you reacting to symptoms or stepping back to understand the bigger picture? Being able to start a discussion within your teams can open up opportunities for growth, engagement and retain your top talent. #talent #organisation #leadership #development #training
