415 — Who is responsible for learning at work?

This week on The Mind Tools L&D Podcast, Ross Garner and Ross Dickie are joined by Kathryn Hume, strategic workforce planning and L&D consultant, and author of the book Learn, Solve, Thrive. In the book, Kath argues that learners have a responsibility for managing their own learning and outlines strategies that anyone can adopt to make that process easier. We discuss: ·       why we can't 'wait around for someone to teach us' ·       some of the difficulties we experience when we try to learn ·       the relationship between workforce planning and training.
