What really drives performance at work?
It’s a question many leaders and learning professionals wrestle with, and one that Paul Matthews has spent decades exploring.
In this Leading People podcast episode with Gerry Murray wide-ranging conversation, Paul challenges some of the most common assumptions about training and learning. Drawing on insights from his three books — on informal learning, capability building, and learning transfer — he explains why so many well-intentioned programmes fail to create real behaviour change, and what organisations must do differently.
Paul commented “Brilliant reflection. Learning sticks when it’s embedded in real work and supported by continuous feedback; the same principle that turns a nervous driver into a confident one. Thanks for such a rich conversation.”
