Editor's note
=============
More and more, it seems, managers are being encouraged to shift
focus from control, target setting and monitoring output towards
developing the potential of their staff.
TrainingZONE member Peter Hunter has suggested ditching
performance management as a concept in favour of performance
support. This would allow staff to decide what support they
needed and managers to assume the role of staff supporter. Is it
a concept that you believe could or should take off? Have your
say at:

Elsewhere, many seem to share Rob Sheffield's tongue-in-cheek
vision of training in 2010. And perhaps proving that where the US
goes Britain follows, Godfrey Parkin maintains that Rob's
predictions are already the reality across the Atlantic. Join the
debate at:
