I’m continuing the discussion between Brent Schlenker and Jane Hart who both have interesting perspectives on people unwilling to learn in a corporate environment. As Brett says, “it’s more complicated than most think.”
Here’s my oversimplified explanation of why it’s complicated:
It’s all about people.
And people are complicated.
Organizations create goals based on their vision, mission and strategies.
Departments within the organization, create goals that support organizational goals.
Action plans are created to help achieve these goals.
Different people own portions of the action plans.
Owners of the plan bring their own filter (e.g., experiences, motivations, fears, biases, etc) to the plan.
People need to “do things” to make progress on the action plan.
