Run For The Hills: They Want To Send You On A Management Training Course!
Phil and I remember being younger managers in large multinationals (IBM for me) back in the 90鈥瞫, and in my case, the 80鈥瞫. We were sent to a variety of short training courses, and we honestly can鈥檛 say that we remember anything they tried to teach us. Except for one lesson. In fact, it was so powerful that we never forgot it.
