Practice
Feel the difference one move makes.
Reading about the discipline is one thing. Running it, with a real person quietly slipping and a choice in front of you, is another. Step into it.
The Decision Simulator
You are the manager.
A short, true-to-life scenario. One of your best people is quietly slipping. At each step you choose what to do, and you see what would most likely happen, and why. There is no score. The point is to feel the difference a single move makes. It takes about five minutes.
