Tom Peters poses a thought provoking question here:
Why does corporate America devote so little time to training?
He compares corporate training to military training. The military trains ALL THE TIME. I just watched the Marines Corp Mountain Survival reality tv show the other day.
I love Tom's question of closing stores 1 day a week for training. How much revenue would be lost that day versus revenue made during the rest of the 6 days. I bet you would grow revenue in a heartbeat.
Here's an idea...a training course on how and why to run a meeting. Require everyone to go through it until they figure it out.
If they don't figure it out, send them to Mountain Survival School. :)
Why you DO think we don't spend money on training?
