First Monday of the month = L&D Monday

I will do an L&D tip from now on the first Monday of each month. It is the area I am better known for after writing three books on L&D, and numerous articles and eBooks.

Years ago, I worked with a professional services firm that ran an internal survey. The results were intriguing.

Employees said that they received plenty of training, but not enough development.

Shadow experts

My best wishes, Paul
