Organizations and their employees are becoming more comfortable with the idea that learning and skills development are the responsibility of the individual worker. Yet, organizations routinely provide little if any direct support for their workers or create an appropriate learning environment to support the self-directed learner. This book is designed to help organizations and their professional training groups take maximum advantage of the trend toward an independent, self-directed learner workforce. This book also helps organizations avoid the major pitfalls inherent in the workplace trend. Readers will use this book to:

  • Develop new organizational and individual employee strategies to meet the workplace challenges of the independent, self-directd learner
  • Create a top-to-bottom positive learning environment that supports and encourgaes the independent self-directed learner
  • Manage intellectual capital in the free-wheeling environment of independent, self-directed, and free-agent learners.
