Synopsis

All too often--maybe even most of the time--training doesn't stick. But Tim Mooney and Robert Brinkerhoff have discovered that some iconoclastic trainers achieve breakthrough results by having the courage to break away from the usual approaches and identify what really works. In simple and engaging language they lay out the Four Pillars of Courageous Training, illustrating each with real-life examples that highlight specific concepts, methods, and tools, and include four case studies that demonstrate the mind-set needed to truly transform training and produce dramatic--and measurable--business results.
