The Vitamin Trap

Leaders: Your training isn’t a vitamin deficiency.
→ It’s active organizational hemorrhaging.
Dear Leaders, Agile Coaches, and Product People:
Quick question:
Do you regularly run sessions where you need to transfer insights or grow team knowledge?
If yes, here’s the uncomfortable truth:
Most of us treat training design as a vitamin (nice to have) when it’s actually a painkiller (urgently needed).
Let me show you why:
Every minute of ineffective training multiplies by the number of attendees:
———
→ 10 minutes with 6 attendees = 1 full working hour wasted
→ 1 hour with 6 attendees = nearly a full working day gone
→ 1 day with 6 attendees = more than a working week vanished
That’s not a vitamin deficiency. That’s active organizational pain.
I used to think my sessions were “good enough”:
→ I ran dozens monthly
→ Attendees seemed engaged
→ Feedback forms looked positive
But the real costs were hidden:
→ Concepts had to be repeatedly retaught
→ Decisions weren’t implemented
→ Initial enthusiasm quickly evaporated
→ Organizational change stalled
We blame everything except our training design:
→ “No time to implement”
→ “Too many competing priorities”
→ “The team isn’t committed enough”
Radical candor time:
→ What you think is “good enough” training is actively costing you
→ The pain is real, but you’ve normalized it
→ Your organization is suffering from poor knowledge transfer daily
4MAT showed me this painful reality. It revealed how much time and potential I was wasting with “good enough” training.
Ready to treat the actual pain instead of ignoring it?
DM or comment “red” for details on a potential next step.
You rock, my friend! Whatever your next step is.
