Eric,

00:00:07

the pedagogical genius,

00:00:08

was the undisputed star of e-learning.

00:00:12

Recognized for his skills,

00:00:13

he could transform the most tedious training into an

00:00:16

immersive adventure worthy of the greatest video games.

00:00:20

When he was promoted to director of training,

00:00:23

the news spread across professional social networks.

00:00:26

The legend is moving up.

00:00:28

A new chapter for Eric.

00:00:30

He inherited a team of 5 people all brimming with ideas and enthusiasm.

00:00:35

But Eric had an Achilles heel

00:00:38

caught up in his passion for content,

00:00:40

he often forgot that he was now a team leader.

00:00:43

Instead of uniting his team around a common vision,

00:00:46

contributing to their engagement,

00:00:48

and giving them autonomy,

00:00:50

he dived headfirst into course mockups and

00:00:52

distributed tasks to them like schoolchildren.

00:00:55

Instead of meeting with clients to better understand their

00:00:58

needs and staying ahead of innovation among his competitors,

00:01:02

Eric preferred to debate the nuances between SCOM 1.2

00:01:06

and XAPI.

00:01:08

One day,

00:01:09

Sarah,

00:01:10

a team member,

00:01:11

dared to interrupt him while he was evaluating the

00:01:13

choice of a font for a training course.

00:01:16

Eric,

00:01:17

I think our client would be delighted to discuss with you the

00:01:20

skill development of their managers and the challenges they are facing.

00:01:23

Rather than the color of our slides,

00:01:26

you can trust us on this point.

00:01:28

Surprised,

00:01:29

Eric looked up from his work,

00:01:31

looked around,

00:01:32

and realized he was surrounded by post-its,

00:01:35

meeting requests,

00:01:36

and the lost looks of his team.

00:01:38

The pedagogy expert that he was now had to learn how to be a manager.
