June's Big Question over at LCB asks how WLP professionals might break down organizational walls to learning. performance barriers organization adult learningI recently read Daniel Pink's A Whole New Mind, and one of the central themes of the book is that we are in an age where we have to think more conceptually, and less analytically, partly because the tools to free our minds from rote work are readily available.
