I read Kevin Oakes's February column, "A Seat at the Table" (E-Learning), and loved it. As far as I'm concerned, he hits a home run with his comments. I laughed at the story of the woman who said she "didn't go into the training field to worry about the bottom line"--just like the person in the field who told me she'd rather have root canal than discuss business needs with a manager. Ugh!
I also loved how Oakes indicates that someone in our field earns the right to be at the table; it's not an entitlement. His article reinforces so much that we also believe.
