I love it, but probably only because I am not an adherent of either management/personality/learning styles or astrology.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14184878.post-81719877837455727662007-02-23T12:35:00.000+00:002007-02-23T12:35:00.000+00:00Dunn's right to question a lockstep approach towar...Dunn's right to question a lockstep approach toward instructional design, though I think he oversimplifies in his dichotomy... only so much creativity to a four-box paradigm, after all.<BR/><BR/>I think many of us who work in corporate / organizational training (however defined) can deliver value through a broader, performance-improvement view (as opposed to, say, seeing Dick and Carey as St. Peter and St. Paul, or browbeating clients into hundreds of orthodox Mager-style objectives). <BR/><BR/>Not everyone gets to parachute in to the executive level, where a few key conversations / conversions can lead to breakthroughs (or CEO fad-adoption).<BR/><BR/>As for "a small piece of research...based on the popular MBTI," I don't think corporate astrology adds much value and can even detract as people substitute type for thought.

It's always interesting to hear from someone with a different perspective on the role we play. <BR/><BR/>Patrick has a lot of good things to say, and his blog is worth reading. There's a major downside in the fact that there is no RSS feed that I can see, though - so you have to remember to check it out manually every now and then, which slightly defeats the object, I would have thought ;-)<BR/><BR/>Oh, and thanks for the comment on the photo - the previous one was getting a bit out of date!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14184878.post-76546698712729855332007-02-15T16:54:00.000+00:002007-02-15T16:54:00.000+00:00Karyn, I share your sentiment although I am not ye...Karyn, I share your sentiment although I am not yet as experienced as you are! Am still sheltered by the umbrella of 'formal training' so what I have to date is what people typically say 'only on paper'! I think Patrick has done a good job there and his piece is worth pinning up on our walls or attached to the FAQs in our client development packs! I wanted to take this opportunity as well to let you know that I have been following your blog since the end of last year, but couldn't find your email address. I enjoy reading your thoughts and find the links you provide useful for my own development. One more thing, I like your new photo!Adele Limhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06055904308424576830noreply@blogger.com
