LO Colleagues -
I agree with Genene's point -- harking back to McGregor's Theory X
about people wanting to do a good job; the (almost) universal success
of "creative ideas" processes, and other related evidence.
Rather than "shallowness," I would propose "busyness," the pressure of
too much information, too much work, inadequate knowledge / learning
resources and expectations from those imbued with "training" values
and practices (SO different than those for "learning").
How do colleagues view this aspect?
Happy T'giving. to all, best - Dick Webster
