Discover the power of practice
How much practice is really needed to improve performance – and how much difference does feedback make?
)
Even as far back as the Roman Empire, thinkers and leaders were aware of the power of practice.
"Practice is the best of all instructors"
The idea that repetition of a task improved performance has endured through the centuries to the present day, when it’s commonly understood that ‘practice makes perfect’.
At Hult Ashridge Executive Education, we have designed a suite of experiential simulations with the explicit aim of helping leaders develop their leadership skills through practice. We have, however, up to this point, never asked the question:
How much practice is really needed to improve performance?
In this research, Rachel Sceats and Professor Vicki Culpin explore this question, analyzing the role of practice, feedback, and self-reflection in performance.
How much practice is really needed to impact performance based on self-assessment measures and external observation
The powerful role that feedback plays in improving people’s performance
The comparative impact of self-reflection as a tool to enhance practice efforts
How self-assessment and external observation differ in performance rating
How you can apply the key findings in your organization as an L&D leader
Does practice make perfect?
