“Michalak and Yager have done it again. Their detailed explanation of the training process is practical and fills the gap between the theories and what effective trainers actually do. It’s a great resource for the novice and experienced trainer alike.” Ron Kregoski, President Kregoski Associates, Brighton, MI “A lot of books on training promise the world, but few provide practical, step-by-step answers to training challenges that professionals deal with everyday. I am excited about this valuable resource. So much so, had I the power, I would see that a copy of this book was included in every college HR student’s and training professional’s library. This book will teach every training professional, regardless of their level of expertise, something they didn’t know or help them design a training process that will add to the crucial bottom-line.” Wanda J. Smith, Ph.D., Professor of Human Resource Management Virginia Tech University, Blacksburg, VA Senior Partner, H & S Enterprises “Clear, concise, and to the point. Michalak and Yager go beyond the “fad” approach to training and instead address larger organizational and management issues. Must-reading for the trainer, manager, and consultant.” Calvin Sun, President Technology Horizons, Paoli, PA
