Great show as usual. If only I could plug my iPod ear buds into the ears of some of the people that took over my organization about 18 months ago and have proceeded to drive dozens of high performers away while breaking the effectiveness of one of the world’s most respected training organizations.

At the risk of sounding like one of those stuck in my ways people that are the bane of “change managers” sometimes “change” is not the right prescription. It is all well and good to believe that something is not working as well as it should, but the wrong solution is to bring in a “change management consultant” whose only real experience is having passed “Change Management 101″ and ask them to help fix the problem of recalcitrant, change resistant folks like me.

Perhaps if those consultants and take over artists had known about Ed’s step by step process and actually approached us to find out what was working already, things would have been different. Of course, that would have required them to do a bit more work and perhaps even check their egos at the door.

As it is, it is time for me to move on.

Wow – that really did sound bitter. Oh well, thanks for letting me vent.
