As someone in the leadership development space for over 15 years, I've seen a big gap emerge between how much employees want (and need) to learn on the job and how much they're able. I believe the solution to this problem will come from thinking small-at least in leadership development content-to bite-size learning.
One reason I love my work is that I get to fulfill employees' desires to learn and evolve professionally. In one survey, more than nine of 10 respondents said learning opportunities would motivate them to stay with their employers longer.
We already recognize that overstuffed schedules lead to burnout. But they also take a toll on learning and development. Over 40% of employees lack time for training and education. Another study found that employees have an average of 24 minutes to spend learning during an average workweek.
Typically, we can only pay attention to one screen for 47 seconds at a time. It's hard to think about taking even a half-day away from work for leadership development in this kind of world.
