What People Learnt but Dare Not Tell You

You'll be surprised if you have a heart-to-heart talk with the people that you sent for training.  "Tell me what have you learnt."  They will say, "Nothing much, I learnt those strategies that we may have taken for granted and not used much".  Is this their real answer?

What do people really learnt from training?  You'll be shocked to discover the truths: there are 5 main things that people learnt but dare not tell you:

1. They learnt about themselves: their weaknesses, strengths and most importantly, their potential.  Like people learnt that they can do magic: cut a piece of wood with paper.  Many people are frightened with this new discovery: they are afraid that now that they know they can do much more, will they be worked to death to implement the strategies learnt?
2. They learnt about the best practises that may not be practised in their organization, like having half-yearly dialogue style performance appraisal.  Some are afraid of telling this to you the boss for fear that you may think they are as picking up on your organization
3. They learnt that training can be very fun too with good mix of jokes, funny video clips, games, exercises and true stories.  Imagine the look on the boss's face if they tell you that they have so much fun in the training.  Some bosses wonder if they go for fun or for learning?  Truth be told: people learn faster and have longer retention if they have fun in learning
4. They learnt from the trainer that because of the PIC scheme, training cost is now 60% subsidised by the government.  Some dare not tell you this for fear that you may interpret this as they are hinting you to send them for more courses.  Click here for articles on PIC
5. They learnt that nothing is impossible, it's possible to sell the impossible, sell ice to the Eskimos and do limitless selling.  They learnt that people management is not about managing people but making people better than themselves.  Some also learnt that a leader's job is to make people work hard, not to make people's work hard.  Imagine the look in the boss's face if they tell you all these: some bosses are asking if they themselves should be inside the training!
