The Leader in Resources for Training & HR Professionals for the Past Four Decades
Organizations that thrive in today′s competitive marketplace are those that make a firm commitment to training and development. And successful trainers stay at the top of their profession by accessing the most recent and important information, tools, and resources in the field.
The 2010 Pfeiffer Training Annual offers a hands–on guide to the latest thinking and recent approaches to training and development. This year′s Annual presents a "communication" theme. The contributors also offer valuable information on such key topics as negotiation, leadership, situational training, informal learning, trust, and distance learning.
The Annual is divided into four sections: Experiential Learning Activities (ELAs); Inventories, Questionnaires, and Surveys; Articles and Discussion Resources; and Editor′s Choice. The fourth section includes cutting edge material that doesn′t quite fit the other sections.
ELAs are the mainstay of the Annual. The activities are presented as complete and ready–to–use training designs. We are honored to have ELAs from training leaders: Amitabh Jha, Robert Alan Black, and Cher Holton.
The instrument section introduces reliable survey and assessment tools for gathering and sharing data on aspects of change and leadership best practices.
The articles section presents the best current thinking about training. Use these for your own professional development or as a lecture resource within your trainings. Must–haves in this section include articles by Linda Talley, Bob Lucas, and Mohandas Nair have contributed articles that address the communications theme. All materials can be freely reproduced for training purposes.
The depth and breadth of available resources—Annual c ontent is entirely new each year—ensures a steady stream of contemporary knowledge and tools. Use the Annual to keep on top of developments within the training and HR profession, dip into the content for an activity or instrument that targets a specific performance problem, combine activities to create an entire development program, or learn how others in the profession are tackling the ever–increasing challenges of building and developing a capable and productive workforce.
