Manager Engagement in Employee Learning: More Work or More Reward?

The Performance Improvement Blog

'I was asked during my recent ASTD Webcast whether there’s data to show that managers, who are more involved in training and learning, ultimately receive more rewards and recognition than those who aren''t.
