IMPOSITION OR EVOLUTION?: USING THE ON‐GOING MANAGEMENT SITUATION AS THE TRAINING VEHICLE Available to Purchase

In our previous articles we have described what we have learned about applying the discovery approach to training in social skill areas. We have spent some time discussing what and how we have learned and the significance of our discoveries in terms of the role of the trainer. We have questioned and discarded many traditional beliefs and assumptions about training and trainers — beliefs and assumptions which may be inviolable to many readers. We can only hope that we have some converts too! In this article we plan to look at what we have learned so far and examine it in the context of management training and development. It is in this area that we feel the greatest payoff will come and it is in the management training field that we are currently developing the approach.
