Keep Yourself and Your Associates Learning
It takes 18 months to master a task, after that people aren’t learning anything new. Bored people are not productive people.
Keep associates on board with training – provide opportunities for education and training to keep associates motivated and enthusiastic. If you give associates the chance to develop their skills within our organization, they’ll be less likely to leave in search of other opportunities.
Walk the talk – To foster lifelong learning, commit to your own learning by attending training to sharpen your skills and keep up in your field
Adults need meaningful work in the same way that children need interesting play, in order to fulfill themselves as persons.

Watch how you walk into work - your employees are paying attention. Something as simple as how you walk into work in the morning can set the tone for the entire day.
o Walk by an associate without saying good morning, people notice
o Snap at someone first thing in the morning, associates avoid you for the rest of the day
o You seem preoccupied or upset, the “stay away message” will spread
Take a couple seconds before entering work and gather yourself. Walk in with a smile and chat with an associate or two...Regardless of how your day is going.
We must become the change we want to see.
