445 — Setting up a L&D team
Episode description
Having the opportunity to set up a new team can be both exciting and daunting. Where would you start when it’s an L&D team?
In this week's episode of The Mind Tools L&D Podcast, Head of People Development Daneille Ware speaks to Gemma and Ross about her approach to creating an L&D team from scratch. We discuss:
· The triggers for creating a new or evolved L&D department
· How to get started with quick wins
· Using data to support decisions
In ‘What I Learnt This Week’, Ross mentioned the two-part Star Wars related episodes of the Rewatchables called ‘Star Wars: A New Hope’ With Bill Simmons, Chris Ryan, Sean Fennessey, and Van Lathan.'
Gemma also talks about a podcast, but one with a very different tone. She listened to Dr Chatterjee speak to Erling Kagge about solitude on 'Feel better, Live more'.
