In this episode of The Art and Science of Influence, Nick Sheremetov challenges the way organizations approach leadership development, explaining why formal training alone is rarely enough to create lasting change.

Drawing on his expertise as an organizational psychologist, Nick explores the 70-20-10 learning model and why the greatest leadership growth happens through on-the-job experience, coaching, mentoring, and feedback. He shares practical insights into building learning cultures that encourage behavioral change, strengthen leadership capability, and deliver meaningful business impact.

Whether you're an HR professional, talent leader, or executive looking to develop stronger leaders, this conversation offers practical strategies for creating learning experiences that extend far beyond the classroom.
