CarrieAnnTripp Aug 27 @ 8:09 PM EDT

A1: Still too many focused on jumping through hoops instead of authentic growth. #MNLead

joemullikin86 Aug 27 @ 8:09 PM EDT

Q1 Let’s start with an important WHY question. Why does bad PD exist even if we know better at this point? #mnlead #4OCF

amythuesen Aug 27 @ 8:09 PM EDT

A1) Often because it seems easy to plan and prepare for. Takes less time. Don't know what good PD looks/feels like. #Mnlead

sarahmomof3boys Aug 27 @ 8:09 PM EDT

A1: not enough time to plan quality PD & too many mandates from higher ups that takes over Meeting time #mnlead

mahillmann - Moderator Aug 27 @ 8:09 PM EDT

A1 Because that’s the way we’ve always done it. #mnlead

ADutke Aug 27 @ 8:09 PM EDT

A1 Bad PD exists because comfort resides in that PD. It is familiar and a "known entity". Venturing out is "scary". #mnlead

A1 because we never ask for feedback around the PD and we make excuses so that we are OK with it. Lets move away from sit and get! #mnlead

Hahne_Elyse Aug 27 @ 8:12 PM EDT

A1 Every PD has the potential of being amazing. However, not all have caught on that Ts/staff need powerful, dynamic PD. #MNLead

RichHayzler Aug 27 @ 8:12 PM EDT

A1: Bad PD exists because it takes time to make it effective. Invest in your staff. Base it off what they need. Choice + planning! #mnlead

GZittergruen Aug 27 @ 8:12 PM EDT

A-1: Feedback and accountability systems are lacking in determining the effectiveness of PD. #MNLead

Sadly, some people still think the sit/get is PD. It isn’t. It is training. There is a difference. #mnlead
