Very well put.
I would add, once something is explained to you, then you must know it. Nothing is worse than explaining the same thing 5 times. I find writing it when told is of value as it helps to enforce it.
- JohnFen 7y agoThat's an excellent observation. This is going a bit afield, but I developed a general workplace habit a long time ago that also covers this... whenever I have any important verbal work-related discussions, including when someone teaches me something, I write an email to them restating my understanding of what was said. I've found this valuable because it can happen that I've misunderstood what was said and this can serve as a sort of error-check against that. It also serves as notes for future reference and, as you say, helps to cement it in my mind.
