Chapter 4: How to Expand the Effectiveness of your Exercises
1. Effective use of feedback and timely improvement:
Using feedback and receiving feedback are two very different skills, and by continually using feedback, practitioners can make amazing progress.
Get people to practice how to put feedback into practice as quickly as possible.
Instant observation of the effectiveness of the use of feedback helps managers and coaches test whether their feedback is effective.
2, action, action, always have to act first!
Reflection, while valuable, can be an obstacle to further practice, and practitioners try to give feedback first and then reflect.
If you practice using feedback first and then reflecting, you will have more analytical data when evaluating feedback.
3, instant feedback, speed determines the quality of the exercise:
Getting feedback quickly is more important than whether feedback is good or bad, giving feedback instantly, even if the feedback at that moment isn't perfect.
Remember, a simple small change that is put into practice right away is far more effective than re-combing skills.
4. Positive feedback to stimulate the power of advantages:
In practice, the parts that people do well are just as important as the parts they don't complete well.
The direct link between hard work and success is not well known, so it is necessary to draw a clear connection between giving and receiving. Help practitioners see more clearly where they are doing success. Help people replicate successfully.
Helping people apply skills they have successfully acquired in new situations and environments.
5. Specific and feasible feedback to make the exercise more effective:
Try to change the "don't do" to "what you should do" to help them succeed.
You must give specific and enforceable guidance. Shorten commonly used guidance languages and simplify them for easier and faster use.
6. Focus on the key points and solve the most pressing problems:
Limit the amount of feedback so that practitioners can focus on and practice as few skills as possible each time.
Avoid overwhelming the practitioner with the sheer volume of feedback.
7. Make paying attention to feedback a habit:
Constantly giving and receiving feedback, feedback will become more and more common.
Give feedback when you start practicing, and don't wait until something goes wrong or wrong.
Using the opening statement wisely can not only help people give positive feedback, but also help people give constructive feedback.
8, do not think that as long as you give feedback, people can correctly understand your meaning, use the following three methods to confirm whether the understanding is wrong.
Have the recipient briefly repeat your feedback.
Have recipients prioritize feedback to identify the most important parts.
Have the recipient clearly indicate the next steps to take when practicing feedback.
Chapter 5: How to Practice Deliberately in a Team
1. Dare to face mistakes:
Encourage people to challenge themselves and take appropriate risks in the exercise in an effort to overcome the practice bottleneck.
Don't ignore or minimize mistakes or they become entrenched.
Help practitioners recognize their mistakes so that they can correct them independently.
Practice how to deal with mistakes and prepare for mistakes and normalize them.
2. Fight inertia and make the practice fun:
Engage in active and friendly competition. While pursuing the fun of practicing, keep in mind that fun serves the practice.
Encourage team members to cheer each other on during practice. Add a surprise element to engage all members in the practice status at any time by getting people to participate in the exercise and randomly assigning the next practitioner.
3. Maximize potential:
Before hiring team members, carefully consider what kind of practice tasks you want candidates to complete.
Take the opportunity to assess their tolerance for practice and feedback during a candidate's practice.
Ask them to repeat a part of the exercise task to assess their ability to apply feedback.
Chapter 6: How to Practice New Skills Gained through Deliberate Practice
1. Find the observation point in actual combat and accurately solve the problem:
If you're evaluating a skill in the real world, start by having the skill learner practice it.
After the exercise, the app is asked to set specific goals in the actual work and then observe whether they have applied these skills.
2. Communicate effectively and strengthen new skills:
For effective communication, remember to create a common vocabulary for practice skills and specialized training.
After the exercises, discussing skills and the application of skills in a common vocabulary can improve the effectiveness of communication and thus help your team better apply and strengthen skills.
3. When actually applying skills acquired through practice, translate key factors into measurable data that can help you assess whether the exercise is effective and determine which skills need to be practiced in the future.
