Your Peak - Developing a culture of practice in your
company
Scott Wintrip
While watching the
Olympics months ago, I was reminded of how different our
profession is from many others. From that we can learn
much, in particular, about how we learn and master our
trade.
In a single moment, an athlete's performance
determines if they will get the chance to stand on the
medals platform. Yet, that moment is defined by the
thousands of hours of practice that led up to the event.
Imagine if an Olympic athlete spent just a few days
learning and practicing the mechanics of their sport. I
can just picture the resulting performance as they take
the floor for the competition. There is the strong
likelihood of a highly flawed performance as well as the
chance of injury to both themselves and others.
How do Olympians get to be some of the top athletes
in the world? Practice, mentoring and coaching, and even
more practice. And this idea is not unique to just
athletes. Attorneys spend hours in mock trials before
taking on their
first real case. Doctors spend years in internships
before opening their practice. Commercial truck drivers
maneuver their rigs on off-road driving courses before
ever hitting the open road. Massage therapists are
required to
practice their craft a prescribed number of hours before
taking on paying clients.
Okay, we in staffing and search businesses are not
Olympians, Attorneys, Doctors, Truck Drivers or Massage
Therapists. We don't win medals, save lives with medical
treatment, or experience the dangers of operating heavy
equipment. But, we do greatly impact one of the most
important aspects of people's lives - their job. And the
most valuable resource of every company - the people
that work there.
Even though we have such a critical impact on people
and companies, what is missing from a significant
portion of our industry is a culture of practice. Many
companies agree that almost all of the experience of
their staff members is gained while doing their jobs.
These same companies also acknowledge the benefit of
practice. And admit that it is simply something they do
not get around to doing on a regular basis.
I am not against on-the-job experience. In fact, many
of the skills I teach today came from personal
experience gained through that wonderful school known as
hard knocks. Also, I am not proposing that you disrupt
your business by
sending your staff to months of training and education.
What I am suggesting is that you take the valuable
training and on-the-job experience you currently offer
and combine that with an Olympic spirit. That being a
spirit and culture of practice, practice, practice.
To assist you, here are some pointers on developing a
consistent culture of practice in your company:
1. If practice sessions or role-plays are already
regular occurrences at your company, my hat's off to
you. I challenge you to find a way to do this even more!
2. For those of you who cringe at the words
"role play," then call it something else that
is more palatable for you. And if you dislike role-plays
because they are normally done in front of a group, then
find a buddy and practice privately one-on-one. The key
here is incorporating practice in your calendar while
using a format that works for you.
3. Practice sessions are not a part of many company
cultures because it is not a part of the routine. It is
a good idea that is often forgotten. By scheduling a
weekly time for this activity, within a span of a few
weeks, you may find this becomes a popular event. For
example, at one of my previous companies, we would all
bring our lunch on Fridays. Then we'd pull our chairs
together and take
turns role-playing different scenarios for 60-90
minutes. Add that up, and we were getting at least 50 to
75 hours of quality practice every year.
4. Figure skaters will try out and refine new
elements of their routine during practice sessions. Once
they develop a comfort level, they will add these
elements into their performance. Practice sessions in
our business can give us
the same benefit. As we try out different techniques and
even take some risks during role-plays, we often break
out of old habits and take on new and more productive
behaviors.
If you are ready to create a culture of practice, I
encourage you to take action right now. The next few
minutes of planning may make the difference that lands
you on top of that medals platform!
