Replying to LO26882 --
The whole idea of training or competence development is one aspect of LO
which bothers me. It seems to me that we have taken some things which
are/could be deep human yearnings
to understand our world and the bigger picture (systems thinking)
to share with others in creating something bigger than ourselves (shared
vision)
to grow and learn (personal mastery)
to building meaning and share understanding with others (mental models)
to connect with others and develop relationships (team learning)
and made them into things we judge others by.
In doing so we risk the failure of the endeavour........... for we become an
ideology with true believers and nonbelievers or a training programme with
levels of expertise. In doing so we create a gap between those who do and
those who don't which increases resistance.
Better by far that we tap into what people want to discover for themselves
rather than judge them against set criteria and set them up to be judging
each other........??
