If that is not possible, I coach them up or out of my organization. What makes a great boss for me is one from whom I can keep learning.

I do not produce random acts of training or independent learning activities that are not linked to an organization�s strategic direction, customers, and goals.

Long-term, I would also like to write a college textbook on leveraging organizational effectiveness and talent management in the business world. |
