French and Leadership – The limitation of traditional classroom training

Updated: Mar 25, 2022

Some thoughts came to my mind when I was attending my French class earlier this week. (Yes, apparently, I was not an attentive student to French!!)


During the class, the teacher played some recording. We listened and tried to understand. He corrected our mistakes and then also introduced some grammar points. We then practiced some more and got corrected. This lecture-practice-correct loop (in whatever order) seems to me a rather typical classroom training scene. In the corporate world, similar things happen in the training rooms.


Some argue that such notion of training in the corporate world was naturally borrowed from schools and / or military training.
