Player-Coach Series: How To Fail Fast and Learn Quick With a Review Process

Season 5, Ep. 83

Allowing your team to analyse what is working well for them and what could be better creates more ownership and responsibility, so the idea of getting people to personally reflect is so important.


When we do this in business or sports, and everyone shares what they feel is going well, what they have contributed or what could have been better, everybody starts to relax a little. 


With this episode, learn how to implement a thorough review process so that you and your team can assess what is working well and what isn't, resulting in the ability to fail fast and learn quick.
