EVERYBODY PROFITS FROM ON THE JOB LEARNING
Learning on the job pays both the employee and the company
Remaining competitive while coping with a never ending stream of financial, regulatory, legal, and operational issues, presents business owners with an unprecedented array of challenges. Pursuing tomorrow’s opportunities, while at the same time resolving today’s problems, will demand higher and higher levels of performance excellence—particularly from the management team.

To survive and prosper in an era labeled the “shift-age” by futurist David Houle, organizations will have to run faster, and leaner—yet retain their focus on an unassailable sense of shared purpose. Investments (particularly time) will of necessity, demand a more immediate return.
Corporate performance begins and ends with business owners and the management team. Inspirational leadership and process discipline are essential ingredients if management teams are expected to meet challenging departmental goals—while at the same time, supporting the CEO as a cross-functional, forward-thinking team.
Success in an increasingly turbulent and uncertain world demands that business owners keep themselves, the management team, and employees in top condition. IN the “shift age” a healthy return on investments is more certain and immediate when conditioning (team and personal development) takes place “on the job” rather than in an industrial-age oriented classroom. Full potential is best realized when people learn from capitalizing on real opportunities, resolving real issues, solving real problems, settling real conflicts, and making real concessions to secure their future and contribute positively to the bottom line.
