You have a very rich perspective. ...Thanks, Tony. You have a very rich perspective. Company training can be analogous to an athlete changing sports, like Michael Jordan to baseball. While he was an extraordinary basketball player, it was not so easy to be extraordinary in baseball. The change required a different kind of training, even though both required athletic ability. As you implied, a lack of training does not make us incompetent. Natural ability only takes us so far. To get to the next level, requires development of skills and mindset. <br /><br />I look forward to more comments from you in the future. <br /><br />TedTed Santoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13297157208874765112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2509085333697351595.post-13534704920037284732013-09-03T13:19:11.625-04:002013-09-03T13:19:11.625-04:00Yes Ted, the Peter Principal has always had a nega...Yes Ted, the Peter Principal has always had a negative connotation to me. I agree with your proposition that people really need training, rather than assuming that if they are good at this or that they will be good at everything. As humans we all come with our particular weaknesses and it does not mean that we are incompetent, it just needs that our consciousness level needs to be raised a bit. Good post, an interesting read.

The other is to make sure there is training and development that takes place to ensure people are competent for their position. If you don't, you will always have to hire qualified people from the outside. However, eventually those outsiders will rise to their level of incompetence if they are not trained and developed.

Possibly 12, 18 or 24 months and then you automatically return to your previous level unless it is believed you can be promoted further.<br /><br />Ed CusatiAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
