I know this question wasn’t directed at me, but my impression was that we had a lot of people do the training and many also read the book, and most came away thinking that the training was not worth the time / covered a lot of the material in the book but in a less useful format.
That being said, I think it’s possible that having all managers just being in a situation where they sit and think about good management practices for 3 days can be really helpful, even if the feeling of being there is negative / the training itself is bad, and I wouldn’t be surprised if having a large number of people go through the training improved management at RP overall.
Would you recommend the training, or do you think it’s not worth the time (ignoring monetary cost)?
(And thanks so much for writing this post!)

The question was directed at me but I will approve of this as my answer.
(Makes sense given that Abraham is the COO at the organization where I’m Co-CEO and we’ve talked a lot about this.)
Sorry to callously steal your thunder Peter!
Makes sense; thanks very much both!
