Training's Role in Achieving High Organizational Performance
Intuitively we know that Training and Development efforts can help the organization perform. But where should we put our efforts? What kinds of programs make a difference? Will focusing on some areas help your organization more than others?
Three years of research and over 800 studies, articles and books led Gary Lear to the discovery of the Seven Elements of High Performance™. Adopted by such organizations as the US Navy’s Center for Naval Leadership, the Seven Elements of High Performance™ give managers a guide for achieving performance in their organization. But Gary also found other clues in the research that gives training and development departments a foundation for a strategy to leverage the Seven Elements for their efforts, as well.
Start 2010 off with your professional growth in mind by joining Gary as he shares with us his findings and challenges us to think differently about our roles and priorities in the Training and Development arena.
