Keeping up is easier if I fall back into old habits for the moment and change them when I'm caught up. That day doesn't come. Comfort in old habits takes over and changes fall by the wayside. That conclusion has haunted us all and is often far from the truth. Training is not an event.
Training is a process.
Coming out of a classroom does not suddenly give managers the same group of people with new, different and better behavior and habits. The same group comes out of the classroom and they now have ideas, some make sense and others don't. They all have habits that are ingrained and comfortable. Change is difficult and even harder when the pace of life and business are so quick that to change too many things at any one time can spell mistakes and disaster. Without coaching and encouragement, the new ideas fade into the background and the old ways return.
