Why Training Might NOT be the Best Answer
I have two quick comments about this title.
1. I was talking to prospective clients yesterday. They are interested in have me train a few trainers to do classes based on High Impact Middle Management. Nice people, I would love to work with them one day. But they are not ready for training. It became evident that they needed to realign the manager's role because they had admittedly thrown too many initiatives their way - stuffing 50 pounds into a 25 pound bag. Once they realign the role, the training could have real impact.
2. This month, Rosa Say is focusing on the topic of learning and she has asked many guest bloggers to post about learning. I put up a semi-sweet rant against corporate sheep dip universities this morning. See my post here. See all the great posts about learning here.

You have started a terrific conversation there at JJL'06 for us Lisa! I love when you start these "semi-sweet rants" of yours and I am thrilled this one is part of our forum. Thank you so much for participating as one of our guest authors.
