Something to Think About
Employee Training of the Month*
- The Manager directed the supervisors to get their people trained and to report back.
- By the end of the week, the supervisors reported their progress (i.e., percentage of people trained).

- Putting together a composite report, the manager felt pretty good about their progress.

"Manager's average"
|
Sum of the averages
= 100 + 90 + 95 + 30 + 9
= 324
Average of averages = 324 / 5 = 65%
Wow! _Over one-hundred percent improvement.
(Leave it to a manager to show the best results!) |
* Most are trained or most are not; Over half-full or over half-empty?
(Depends upon how and by whom the score is kept!)
