Revealed: the truth about the learning lives of managers
Owen Ferguson, Chief Operating Officer, GoodPractice
Managers are crucial to learning in organisations. They decide who has time to learn and when, and their attitude towards the L&D department can determine how entire departments approach it. But how do managers themselves learn and how can L&D influence them? Recently GoodPractice engaged with ComRes to ask 500 UK managers what they get up to behind their L&D department’s back. In this webinar the results – published at the end of November – are aired online for the first time. Be warned, though: you won’t like everything they say.
- What do managers do when L&D aren’t looking?
- How do they REALLY cope with challenges?
- What two factors most influence how managers choose to learn?
- Where do they go to find the stuff that’s crucial for their work?
- What practical actions can L&D take away from this ?
