Avoid Mistake of Not Participating in Training

One common mistake leaders make when sending people to training is not being willing to participate in the training themselves. Leaders often send their team members for training without actively engaging in the process. This lack of involvement can lead to a disconnect between the leader and the team's learning experience. By not participating, leaders miss the opportunity to observe the team's interactions, understand their challenges, and provide support effectively. It is essential for leaders to be actively present during training sessions to demonstrate commitment and enhance the training's impact on the team.
