Teach Like a Thief

Teach Like a Thief

The best teaching isn't teaching...it is irresistible theft.

If you want someone to learn, stop trying to teach them.

Teaching, in most orgs, is a PowerPoint with bullet points that die quietly in a meeting room.

Real learning?

That's theft.

That's trickery.

That's seduction.

You show just enough to spark envy.

You drop a tool so clean they ask how you built it.

You run a session that's 10% instruction, 90% "holy sh*t, I want to do that."

That's how skills spread.

Not through policy.

Through curiosity.

Through watching someone actually good do something cool, and wanting in.

Build tools people want to steal.

Share tricks that make people feel clever.

Let them come to you.

That's how you grow a culture.
