360Learning - Don't settle

As human beings, we’re taught from a very early age to suck it up and deal with some of life’s inconveniences. 

Jimmy won’t share his toys? Tough luck. Someone stole your school lunch? Worse things can happen. Your bus never showed up? You can still walk to work. 

But what if we said no? What if we refused to settle for subpar talent development programs and made ours actually work? And what if we committed to finding a Learning Management System that suited our teams in the long run, rather than just putting up with the one we have?

Once we make a stand, it’s amazing what we can achieve. Like making real steps towards more inclusive workplaces, solving the things that make traditional classroom training such a drag for our learners, or finally putting L&D goals at the heart of our talent management strategy.

And heck, if we can manage all that, we might as well complete our victory lap with a couple of extra wins, like finally cracking the code to better one-on-one meetings, and avoiding three of the most common mistakes in Collaborative Learning.

This week, we’re here to help you stop settling for second-best. Here’s to shooting for the moon! 

And if you find yourself nodding along with our sage advice, be sure to share these articles and connect with us on LinkedIn, Facebook, and Twitter.
