This month we will discuss the Ken Blanchard book, Know, Can Do!: Put Your Know-How Into ActionThe discussion will begin on how we can act on what we learn and already know, and also how we can influence others to act on what we are trying to persuade them to learn.

Book Review: Know, Can Do! Put your Know-how into Action – Ken Blanchard, Paul Meyer and Dick Ruhe.

Putting his own advice into action, Blanchard applies his 'Less-is-More' philosophy with yet another single-focus business tale. In this one, Blanchard and his cohorts share a process for making learning a habit - putting new skills into daily action. Advocating three reasons - information overload, negative filtering, and lack of follow-up - people don't start doing what they learn, the book's story approach takes the reader thru steps to overcome each reason.

Information overload is combated by focus, using the 'less-is-more' principle and then repetition (hear/read it), repetition (write it), repetition (review it), and repeat again. Of course to do that, one must overcome our normal negative filtering process (we often listen for what is wrong, not what we might learn) by listening with a positive mindset. Follow-up, by definition, is used to overcome the lack of follow-up. For this, coaching by another, using positive reinforcement and accountability is recommended.

As always with Blanchard, this book gets quickly to the heart of the subject and takes the reader thru its process with storybook simplicity. It is such a short and easy read that many training programs would do well to hand the book out - and then follow its process.

Learning Leaders is for training managers / directors and learning leaders or anyone who can influence strategy, direction, perception or adoption of training in one's organization.
