The Yin and Yang of Formal + Informal Learning

     Article: Author: Allison Rossett and Frank Nguyen | Source: ASTD | January 6, 2012

 
An intentional mix of formal and informal learning strategies might be just what your company needs.

In the East, it is said that people who are yin are creative, passive, and easygoing. When they tend to lethargy, they are encouraged to become more yang. On the other hand, those who are yang are seen as active, precise, and controlled. They are nudged to strive toward yin. It is acceptable to never find balance between yin and yang, but instead to always seek, reflect, and add elements of the other.

Developing Mindful Leaders

     Article: Author: POLLY LABARRE | Source: HBR | January 6, 2012

 
Organizations invest billions annually on a success curriculum known as "leadership development," which ends up leaving so much on the table.

What if, instead of stuffing people with curricula, models, and competencies, we focused on deepening their sense of purpose, expanding their capability to navigate difficulty and complexity, and enriching their emotional resilience?

You may not have noticed, but a new era is quietly dawning on the training industry. It represents a change that is both profound and permanent. For the very first time, learners have the ability to take control of his or her own learning experience.
So what’s responsible for this shift in the learning landscape?  It’s the advent of new technologies, social platforms, and the search engine. The search engine has become a near ubiquitous tool of the 21st century. Surfing the Internet has become everyone’s favored solution for resolving information challenges large and small.
