Criteria for "Learning Organization" LO29424

From: Jason Smith/EIG (Jason.Smith@economicalinsurance.com)
Date: 10/31/02


Replying to LO29407 --

Quoting marshall...

PEOPLE AS RESOURCES : This means releasing all the skills and mutual
assistance to be found in a group - using everyone's strengths - finding
others' hidden talents

End of quote...

I like those LO descriptors you published with one exception.....

**steps onto soap box**

Personally, I dislike referring to people as "resources." That smacks too
much of people as "inputs," which they taught me in economics class.
People come to work with much more than their skills, strengths, talents,
and ability to help. They also come with their goals, dreams, and often a
few messier things like fears, and resentments. I'm for referring to
people as people, and recognizing their wholeness.
