Its surprising to me that a significant number of people in leadership positions fail to understand why building rapport with their team is so important. Many of those leaders just hope their team will gel instead of taking steps to ensure they will. All too often, they discover that hope is a bad strategy. They learn that at the expense of teamwork and productivity within their organization.

Research suggests that doctoral researchers often dont understand supervisor feedback on their writing. When they get their text back with its red/blue tracked changes and comments, they dont always get what they are being asked to do. I remember that a doctoral researcher once told me that she had spent hours trying to work out what one comment on her text meant.She was the first person I had supervised so I was a real rookie.

The instructor’s PPT slides are brilliant. You’ve splurged on the expensive interactive courseware. Student engagement is stellar. So… why are half of your students still forgetting everything they learned in just a matter of weeks? It's likely a matter of cognitive science! With so much material to "teach" these days, we often forget to incorporate key proven principles into our curricula — namely active recall, metacognition, spaced repetition, and interleaving practice.
