Digest, Not Indigestion

"The greatest holiday feast is eaten one bite at a time. Gulp it down all at once and you get indigestion. I discovered the same is true in teaching. To be effective, a leader must dispense information in bite-size, digestible amounts." -- John Wooden

In my line of work, I think that means teaching vocabulary before anything else. Acronyms abound in most professions, with each creating their own efficient language that hits a new employee like a fog. Those building blocks give simple confidence, a momentum that carries into later success.
