2.0 out of 5 stars
...and got the T-Shirt.,
By Quentin Kramer (San Diego, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Power of Learning: Fostering Employee Growth (Hardcover)
I'm a senior partner in a successful consulting firm and so naturally I have read many books about knowledge management and empowerment etc. This book was recommended to me by an ex-colleague and so I tracked a copy down for myself. It seemed to me that the content of the book was mainly promo material for the author. I didn't feel that he was working with me and my business so much as trying to sell me something. The author goes to great lengths to tell the reader that this is not some sort of training manual. This is, however, some sort of training manual. You could say it is the wool that has been pulled over the eyes of middle management but this would probably be too punishing a metaphor to be fair. The book serves little practical purpose but escapes just one star by being enthusiastically written. The author seems to believe his own hype and this at least affords the book a sense of energy and momentum which is so important in business. In summary, there are far superior texts available but I'll leave you to discover these for yourself!

practical advice from the trenches,
By "pellegatti" (Cotia, SP Brazil) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Power of Learning: Fostering Employee Growth (Hardcover)
The Power of Learning is a practical book written with implementation in mind. It's full of insightful ideas that can be immediately appropriated and put into practice by immaginative readers. Useful for anyone looking for inputs to make training and education really work in organizational settings. It could point to some more "academic references" for people interested in furthering their research.

Trival,
By James Cracknell (London, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Power of Learning: Fostering Employee Growth (Hardcover)
This book proposes to be an 'learning' tour de force, however i was disatisfied with its intellectual nous. I found the full volume, a collection of tired and hackneyed cliches, the example tests are unfulfilling and frankly at points, patronising. This author simply exploits common consultancy buzzwords. This appears to be a book in a time warp. All in all, this is a very ordinary publication. My advice is steer well clear of this and any other 'enpowerment' authors.
