There is a lost art of apprenticeship. In our fast moving, digital world we have come to expect people to enter a role within an organization ready to hit the ground running. However, an intentional leader will take the time to properly acclimate an employee to a job or role. Roz Hobley of the UK gives a brilliant explanation and example of the Developing Others tool and how to implement it for long-term success of employees.
The Developing Others tool is used to train up someone in a new expertise or skill. A wise leader is intentional in transferring their knowledge. Roz Hobley gives us the steps on how to apprentice someone:
Phase 1 - unconscious incompetence - "I do, you watch"
Phase 2 - conscious competence - "I do, you help" Watch out for the Pit of Despair!
Phase 3 - conscious competence - "You do, I help"
Phase 4 - unconscious competence - "You do, I watch"
This process takes time, vision and encouragement! There is long-term payout for this type of intentional leadership.
