Edina, Minn. — April 9, 2007 — Wilson Learning Corporation, a worldwide provider of Human Performance Improvement solutions, today announced the availability of its latest point-of-view position paper, Individual Effectiveness: Creating the Effective Workforce. The new paper summarizes Wilson Learning’s 40+ years of experience on the skills critical for high performance.

“The struggle is similar in any organization or function,” says Tom Roth, President of Wilson Learning Corporation. “A salesperson may be loved by his or her customers and win a big deal, but when it comes to supporting the implementation, they are unable to execute effectively. Simply put, someone may have great expertise and knowledge about the technical aspects of their job, but they are unable to communicate clearly and effectively, or handle certain situations inherent in the position.”

According to the paper, it is clear that effective individuals are more than just the sum of their technical or professional experience. “Our experience and research shows that what separates the exceptional performer from the rest is that they have developed a core set of ‘transferable skills’,” says Dr. Michael Leimbach, Ph.D. VP of Research and Design, Wilson Learning Worldwide.

Job specific talents are critical to performance, but what sets some individual’s apart are skills in three core domains; Purposeful Communication, Inspired Thinking, and Fulfilled Self. A highly effective person maintains a balance of all of these; in their life, their communications, their approach to thinking through problems and their relationship between society and themselves.

The white paper, Individual Effectiveness: Creating the Effective Workforce, can be downloaded for free in its entirety in the upper right hand corner.
