The 45 Caliber Test
Many managers believe that training is the solution to all performance gaps.
Before doing a formal needs assessment, one trainer should ask managers, “If you held a 45 caliber gun to this employee’s head, could she/he perform the job.” If the answer is yes, no needs assessment is performed.
