One reason, I suspect, is that the Brits are way ahead of us Yanks when it
comes to studying competencies. Some time back I went looking for work
done in relation to managerial competencies. The Brits had it. Someone
on the list mentioned the basic work (it's an acronym beginning with M but
I forget it just now).
Just as we Americans had to play catch-up with the Japanese, I belive the
Brits have been playing catch-up with the Americans. By now, they might
be out in front... :-)
Just a thought...
