Employees - Why can't they be more like me?

摘要

How do you approach the task of learning something new? Do you jump right in? Need time to think? Look for multiple possibilities or one right answer? Approaches to learning are as varied as people are, and such differences provide challenges in workplace training situations both for the trainer and trainee. Learning is a highly complex process. Discussing preferred approaches to learning or preferred "learning style" provides some insight into and strategies for dealing with different employees or "learners". Learning style is only one factor to be considered in training situations, and learning style descriptions are not intended to be labels for individuals. However, an employer, manager or trainer (for purposes of this paper all are referred toas the "trainer") who has an understanding of and appreciation for diverse approaches to learning, is better prepared to cross learning gaps and provide more complete training experiences.
