The Lost Art of Training: How to prepare others for the future by enhancing their performance to unleash their potential and encourage their professional development.
()
About this ebook
This book is about TRAINING.
Training is your ability to prepare others for the future by enhancing their performance to unleash their
potential and encourage their professional development.
It’s also one of these ten core competencies of your effectiveness and success in business:
Followership, Delegating, Planning, Organizing, Communicating, Problem-Solving, Awareness, Training,
Motivating and Character-Building.
This book will give you a far better understanding of Training, its definition, importance, and how to do it successfully.
Training your team members is the best way to add value to all who help you produce your results.
If you have any desire to consistently produce excellent results and sustain those results, you need to assume a more active role in the training of your team members.
As an executive coach for over 20 years, I know what your boss and customers expect.
Successful people know that their ability to train others is critical to their effectiveness at work.
By learning, using, and sharing these best practices, you’ll be well on your way to becoming the one person who adds the greatest value to the team - making you essential.
Here, you’ll learn to use the most actionable tactics, techniques, and tools needed to master The Art of Training.
Important Notes:
Why should you train your team members?
If you’re responsible for their results, you’re responsible for how they achieve those results. You’re responsible for the process of achieving those results and how to make them better.
That’s why the training from LEADERSHIP MADE SIMPLE, is so powerful!
It contains the most important fundamental knowledge, skill, and ability needed to maximize your true potential that isn’t found anywhere in academia or Corporate America.
The most effective way to train others is by your example. However, as you learn, use, and share what you’ve learned here, you’ll also be able to train your members by:
Assigning members as trainers (Train-the-Trainer) for certain critical tasks by using the Adult Learning Model (Chapter 4).
Setting aside the time to train your team and use scenarios or simulations via Role-Playing (Chapter 5).
Make assignments to members to use the Problem-Solving Process (PSP) to resolve problems, write a Decision Paper (Chapter 28), or make a presentation (Chapter 8).
Ask HR to contract the training you need.
Edward J. Murphy
Ed Murphy considers himself lucky. From age 7, he knew what he wanted to be when he grew up. He wanted to be a Soldier. In 1964, four days after graduating from High School, he joined the US Army and found himself in Basic Training and Advanced Infantry Training at Fort Dix, New Jersey.A year later, Ed became a Cadet at the United States Military Academy at West Point. In 1970, he graduated as a 2d Lieutenant headed to Airborne and Ranger School, then off to Viet Nam for a year.In 1978, Ed returned to West Point to teach Military Science and earned a Master’s Degree from Long Island University in night school. His greatest achievement during his time in the military was helping 1400 soldiers begin their college education during his last two years in West Germany as a Battalion Commander. He wanted to give his soldiers something of real value - something that no one could ever take away. After 23 years as a US Army Officer, from Viet Nam to Desert Storm, he retired in 1993.Ed then decided, with a little help from Anthony Robbins, that his second career would be as an Executive Coach. For the next 21 years, he worked for four of the largest consulting, outplacement and e-cruiting companies in America from Seattle, San Diego, to Kansas City.In 2012, Ed retired a second time and decided to document everything he learned from those he admired and willingly followed over his 50+ years in both the US Military as an Army Officer and Corporate America as an Executive Coach.Since many of them aren’t alive today to tell their stories, he wanted to pay tribute to them before their lessons were lost forever. Thanks to them, he’s collected thousands of small and simple things (tactics, techniques, and tools) that have helped and will continue to help future generations to maximize their true career potential by becoming more effective at work and in life.In 2014, Ed created TheCAREERMaker.com, a site dedicated to providing the best-in-class wisdom, knowledge, and advice on how to maximize your true career potential by teaching three simple things; how to become absolutely essential and irreplaceable to any leader, how to become more effective tomorrow than you are today, and how to find and build the career you were meant to have. His greatest joy comes from helping others avoid or overcome the problems he’s faced during his lifetime.In 2016, with the help of two partners and co-authors Lee O. Lacy and Jason Bowne, he finally completed The Effectiveness Guide, which teaches how to become more effective tomorrow than you are today by consistently producing excellent results; treating others with dignity, respect, and kindness; and helping others to do the same.Today, Ed considers himself fortunate to get to live in Phoenix, AZ, where he enjoys writing, eating sushi, genealogy, and watching movies with family, friends, and his best friend and wife, Diana.

INTRODUCTION
"All that is necessary for the triumph of evil
is that good men do nothing."
- Edmund Burke
How effective are you at work? Would your employer agree? What are you doing every day to become more effective? These are the questions we’ll be addressing as we explore how you can become more effective tomorrow than you are today.
This book is about Training, your ability to create more effective team members for the future by impart your knowledge, skills, abilities, and the 10 core competencies of effectiveness, with specific goals to improve their performance, unleash their potential, and encourage their personal and professional development throughout their working life.
Training is one of the 10 Core Competencies of Effectiveness:
Followership, Delegating, Planning, Organizing, Communicating, Problem-Solving, Awareness, Training, Motivating, and Character.
Volume 8: The Lost Art of Training is one in a series of 11 books that comprise The Leader’s Guide which was created to provide you with the best-in-class knowledge, wisdom, and advice on how you can become more effective at work and in life. It contains over 1000 actionable Tactics, Techniques, and Tools (or best practices) used every day by the most effective people in their field and have proven reliable in helping others to maximize their true career potential.
In a 21st-century world of business, the best companies, the ones who make it to the top in their industry, are thriving because they’re breaking all the traditional rules and stereotypes of conventional leadership. Positions, titles, and organizational charts are meaningless.
I know this to be true because I’ve spent 20 years of my life as an executive coach working with hundreds of business executives and small business owners, seeking the answer to this simple question,
Why are some people more effective than others?
What do they think, say, and do that made them more effective?
Here, I was privileged to work with some of the most exceptional men and women in America, learning the true meaning of effectiveness by documenting what they did, how they did it, and most importantly, how they made others feel. I found that effective people had one thing in common.
