Leadership gaps
People promoted for doing the work well, who were never taught to lead it. The result is a manager who still does everything personally, and a team that waits to be told.
Your team is not lazy. They are unclear.
Most performance problems are not attitude problems. They are gaps: in skill, in clarity, or in rhythm. Find the gap, fill it properly, then install a routine that keeps it filled.
Exhibit 01 · The Method
Diagnose. Build. Install the rhythm.
Three steps. Most training stops after step two, which is why the improvement fades.
Where It Goes Wrong
Four gaps I get called for.
Sales skill gaps
A team that can take orders but cannot open a conversation. Pipeline is thin, discounts are deep, and every deal depends on the owner turning up in the room.
Onboarding that leaks
New hires take months to become useful because nothing is written down. Every exit takes the knowledge with it and every join costs the same again.
The P.I.C.O. model
A structured way to design a training programme so it is built around the job people actually do, rather than around a syllabus bought off the shelf.
Is This You
You might recognise this.
You have a team of twenty to two hundred. You have sent people for training and seen nothing change three months later. You still approve too much, because the judgement has not been passed down.
If your growth is limited by what your people can currently do, rather than by what your market will buy, this is the work to do first. It is usually the cheapest growth available to you.
