The importance of practice

March 24, 2025

It’s Tactical Tuesday!

Here is the Thought, Tip, and Tool of the week...

___________________________

The Thought

Did you know... that leaders who provide regular opportunities for team development see a 23% increase in team productivity?

Why is this important?
- When you prioritize skill-building and practice in your meetings, your team becomes more effective. It’s not just about checking boxes on an agenda—it's about actively developing your team.
The Best players practice the most.
- Just like athletes who spend hours practicing before game time, your team needs the same focused practice to sharpen their skills.

"When you make time for deliberate practice, you're preparing your team to perform at their best when it counts."

The Tip

Remember to… use your team meetings as intentional practice opportunities.

Ask yourself:
- What skill does my team need to improve this week?
- How can we turn a meeting into a practice session for that skill?
Example: If you want to develop curiosity, consider adding a curiosity game where the team practices asking more insightful questions.

“Every meeting is an opportunity to build skills that transfer directly to the work your team does.”
