Great post Kit! When i was a new manager in my retail days, i remember learning a lot more from associates when i was working alongside with them; setting racks and working the weekly freight. I learnt more side by side with the team than i learnt from the management training.
Anyone at my company could've written that same email about Corp Comm. Most of the memos we get are weird exercises in conditioning opinion and languaging. It's maddening.

Thanks! Yes, 100% - when you work alongside the team you usually learn more from them than from any kind of training.

Doh! Why-eeee?
So much is put on frontline workers without a thought! I just hope the people who need to read this are doing so.
Yes, exactly.
