Published 1 October 1994
Today, corporate survival depends crucially on adaptability, driven by employees willing and able to continuously update their knowledge and skills. This book provides the vision and practical guidance to help all managers and directors to tap into the power of learning. Using real-life examples and a series of "powerpoints" to enable companies to assess themselves, the book shows how to: forge visionary risk-taking leaders who can coach and empower others; use the right langauge to promote the right culture; support constant learning through people management processes - induction, performance management, career structures and rewards; build an "organizational brain" through information technology; ensure all employees enhance their learning skills; achieve maximum synergy in teams, networks and communities; break down the barriers to sharing information; and measure the added value of effective learning.
