Part 1 of 3 

As the earth completes another trip around the sun, we find ourselves, at that time of the year when everyone is making their “New Year Resolutions” for doing things better and differently. Blogs, articles, and podcasts about people’s attempts at self-improvement – ranging from eating better to getting more sleep, to being better business leaders – are widely circulated.

his year, I am going to do something slightly different and hopefully more helpful for business leaders. As the topic of Psychological Safety gains more relevance in the workplace and as the number of clients utilizing our new digital business leadership simulation called, “Leading Psychological Safety” increases, I thought it would be great to share some insights into the 9 common (and sometimes unconscious) behaviors leaders exhibit that break psychological safety. I want to follow this with ideas – resolutions – for changing these behaviors in 2023.

In this 3-part series, in addition to the content, we are providing several additional tools such as a self-assessment questionnaire and an action planning checklist. Take the self-assessment linked at the end of the blog to reflect on your current behaviors.

Traditional eLearning, video-based training, and facilitated learning are valuable tools in the market that provide the “what things are.” However, business simulations are now playing a critical role in talent development. They provide learners with the hands-on experience of “how things actually work.”

Let’s take business acumen training and the concept of “revenue” as an example. Advantexe offers an asynchronous learning program called the Foundations of Business Acumen. The program combines short video lessons that introduce the topics and an interactive simulation that allows learners to “try them” in real-world settings.

The eLearning portion utilizes animated videos to define how revenue is derived. “Revenue is created by multiplying the number of units sold with the price.” This is great. Yes, revenue is units sold multiplied by price, but what is driving the generation of that revenue? How is revenue actually created? As an individual contributor, manager, or leader in a company, what could you be doing to impact that revenue? How can learners do their job more effectively in support of more and higher quality revenue?
