When I wrote my last post on a message to CxOs about L&D myths, I got some pushback. Which, for the record, is a good thing; one of us will learn something. As a counter to my claim that L&D often was it’s own worst enemy, there was a counter. The claim was that there are folks in L&D who get it, but fight upward against wrong beliefs. Which absolutely is true as well. So, let’s also talk about what CxOs need to know about the org learning myths they may believe.

My previous post talked about how L&D deludes itself, but there are reasons to also believe in unfair expectations. So here’s the other side.
