David Long explains how a team is a direct reflection of their manager’s capabilities. If you want to succeed as a manager, you will need to replace weak employees with those who will help make your dream a reality.

Why a Manager Must Hire Right, Train, Prune, and Repeat

In the United States, we have a real problem with disengaged employees. But is employee engagement the issue, or are they a symptom of a larger problem?

Your Disengaged Employees Don’t Trust You

David Long believes that if build your people first, they will build your company. Here’s how he used a book club to change his employees’ lives.

How a Book Club Can Change Employees’ Lives

October is one of my favorite months at ASTD. If you’ve had the opportunity to flip through this month’s T+D BEST issue, you got an up-close look at training as a true strategic partner in achieving critical business results—the kind of partner each BEST organization exemplifies. Congratulations to all 28 of this year’s winners, and it was an honor to meet many of them at this year’s Learn From the BEST conference.This month, I’d also like to focus on how to take a classroom activity beyond simply fun, to strategic and smart. Here are few top stories for October, plus some classic posts\* from the blog, on activities, games, and other facilitator techniques:Five Considerations for Selecting SMEs by Chuck HodellRadically Improved Action Planning by Will ThalheimerIt’s Delightful, It’s Delicious, It’s De-Lovely! by Bruno NealWhy Games Don't Teach by Ruth Clark\*The Long View: David Rock in T+D MagazineAre You Using Games to Engage? by Barbara Greenstein\*Boring to Brilliant: 5 Tips to Convert Your E-Learning to a Story-based Approach by Diane Senffner\* Where to Find Stories for Your Presentations and Programs by David Lee\*Five Tips for Success When Using Games in Training by Rachel Miller\*Last month, I mentioned that I would have an update on a new app for classroom facilitators. Those of you attending the ASTD Chapter Leaders Conference will get a first look at the Trainer’s Toolkit App, edited by Elaine Biech. This app contains 20 original classroom and online facilitation activities for engaging and energizing your classroom. (with more than 30 additional modules forthcoming)The really unique thing about this app is that it helps facilitators utilize activities as the valuable, strategic means to an end that they are. Those trainers who frequently use games or create their own classroom activities know that energizers, for example, are great for fighting off post-lunch malaise. But they can also stimulate short-term memory and help create a gentle transition between break time and active learning. By next month’s newsletter, I will be able to share the official website and more details.I also promised an update on the Leaving ADDIE for SAM Field Guide (coming in early 2014), and readers and SAM fans can look forward to over 20 templates and worksheets, plus dozens of brand new diagrams and charts with useful how-tos. We are getting closer and closer! Stay tuned to the newsletter for publication date and online availability.See you next month!JuanaCheck out the entire newsletter.

This post is the last in a series about coaching competencies. It examines how a professional coach creates self-awareness in a client, helps him with planning and goal-setting, and serves as an accountability partner. To see the previous post in this series, click here.Because Marie had helped her client, David, explore his goals in all areas of his life, he was more fully aware of how his thought processes and actions influenced those goals. In their previous session, Marie and David had created an action plan to help David achieve what he wanted, both personally and professionally.David then chose his top priorities to work on with his coach. Marie asked him about the barriers to his goals, how he would move past those roadblocks, and what resources he could use. After careful reflection, David realized that his own habits got in the way. Sometimes he was so busy that he forgot to even think about what he wanted to change. In exploring how to move past these challenges, David and Marie discussed what it takes to transform one’s thinking and habits. Marie provided David with tools that would support him in this change process.In ongoing coaching sessions, Marie partnered with David to develop his long-term strategy, goal setting, and planning. David began designing his specific action steps for moving forward.During each coaching session, Marie checked with David on his progress. She served as his accountability partner by asking him about how his progress affected him and any adjustments he wanted to make moving forward. Through this approach, Marie facilitated the learning process for David, and helped him achieve the results he wanted.
