Beschreibung
When business owners, managers, HRD employees, or experts in their field are responsible for the dissemination of training to their workers, or find themselves thrust into the role of trainer, they are often overwhelmed with the many facets of the task. The Accidental Trainer is a hands-on resource that provides these "accidental" trainers with the basic tools they need to be successful-from understanding the various roles they will play to identifying where best to apply limited time and resources. This book offers a wealth of information for working within the constraints of a small, part-time, or one-person training department. The Accidental Trainer is the "how-to" manual for anyone who needs a trainer's take on how to source, create, or roll out workplace training that hits the mark.
"It's no secret that people often become trainers by assignment, not by choice. This book is a fabulous all-around reference for the novice, the bewildered, and the 'volunteered.' Chock-full of tips, suggestions, and real-world advice, this book promises to make life much less painful for both accidental trainers and their learners."
-Jane Bozarth, author, e-Learning Solutions on a Shoestring
"Although clearly targeted for the new-or 'accidental'-trainer, even senior HRD practitioners will find this book of real interest and value. It is written in a systematic, yet very pragmatic way, and the bottomline results it will bring will definitely prove the reader's success in the field as no 'accident.'"
-Edward E. Scannell, past national president, ASTD, and coauthor, Games Trainers Play series
"The Accidental Trainer is for anyone who suddenly finds himself in charge of a training initiative. All phases of the process are discussed, from managing, designing, and sourcing the project to getting buy in and making training an asset in your organization. The Accidental Trainer is the personal coach for everyone in a small department and is certain to be the most dog-eared book on your shelf."
