Today's guest blogger is Christopher Bailey of the wonderful The Alchemy of Soulful Work. With a blog title like that, you just know his blog will be a powerful combination of the practical and the philosophical.
Even more than that, Christopher's blog is also extremely well written, and is rapidly gaining some much deserved attention around the blogosphere.
Christopher Bailey's contribution to the Talking Story Reinvention of business series is titled "Let's Reinvent Professional Development in Our Organizations".
Christopher writes:
The great innovative organizations understand this and cultivate cultures that stimulate and reward learning. However, when I ask clients and other professionals about their organization's attitudes toward and structures for professional development, they are woefully inadequate. Too often, professional development is treated like a job perk, rather than as a systemic part of the organization's greater purpose of growing its business and its people.
Christopher's ideas on oganizational professional development continue in his special guest author post.
