Employee Development Strategies That Actually Work: The Case for Repetition

March 3, 2026

Imagine this: a Hall of Fame Major League Baseball player steps up to the plate. He’s faced down 100 mph fastballs countless times and made them look easy. But then he’s thrown a 68 mph underhand softball pitch — and he completely misses. How is it possible that one of the best hitters in the world can’t make contact with a slow pitch? It’s not about strength. It’s not about instinct. It’s about pattern recognition — and it has everything to do with how employees develop, perform, and ultimately become the high performers every organization is trying to build.
