By Jack Shaw on September 15, 2011

Can we train every employee to be CEO one day? Of course, it would be a rare employee that ends in that lofty position, but shouldn’t it be possible? The idea isn’t to convince workers that is their career path, but to let them feel a part of the entire operation in a way that […]

By Jack Shaw on September 6, 2011

The topics of Training and Development, and Communication are so intricately entwined that I can’t help myself talking about it. I argue that the basic communication process is not simple, but in concept it is really–and those who get the Primer embedded have the easiest time adding the complicated parts.

How We Learn–Six Points You Should Know

By Jack Shaw on August 21, 2011

While I support the caveman theory of learning (the art of learning to survive anyway you can), I fully understand why the Greek and Roman philosophers and humanists of later years are given credit for at least the philosophy-based learning theory. And, the rest is important to see how we got where we are today. In […]
