AN ARTICLE A DAY, PICKED BY OUR EDITORS
Picture this: your team is responsible for a big presentation this week, and you’ve asked a coworker to draft something up. But his first effort isn’t quite right—and neither is his second one. Do you take the time to teach him how to do better, or rewrite it yourself while burning the midnight oil? All too often, it’s the latter, leaving everyone frustrated or even demoralized. But there might be a better way, if your organization cultivates a culture focused on developing employees through one-on-one learning, particularly with many companies facing yawning skills gaps today. Here’s how to modernize and scale an apprenticeship model, plus steps that can help build momentum as you put it into practice.

Quote of the Day
“Pandemics are probably the most costly thing that can occur to humanity. Costly in economic terms, but of course beyond the economics also in social, human, and welfare terms. If there’s one priority on which the world community needs to deliver, it is about reducing the probability of new pandemics emerging.”
Guntram Wolff, director of Bruegel, a global think tank, in the latest episode of the McKinsey Global Institute’s Forward Thinking podcast
