Last week I had the opportunity to participate in a round
table discussion organized by Harvard Business School Publishing on
Holistic Leadership Development for Future.
The discussion moved on to delivery of training on how
effective is virtual classroom sessions at Harvard. The response from Harvard
was that the instructor led sessions are always "Rich" compared to
virtual classroom that have "Reach". So there will always be a trade
off between "Rich" versus "Reach"
I was thinking about this and I saw that this issue of
"Rich" versus "Reach" exists in many other areas like
organisations are ok if employees are not very deep "Rich" in a
particular domain, skill or technology and they prefer employees with variety
"Reach" of domain, skill and technology..
Organisations are
ok not doing deep training "Rich" to a small set of employees but may
prefer to touch "Reach" a large set of employees.
The recent edition of India Today had a survey on today's
youth not wanting to have a deeper "Rich" relationship and are ok to
have many shorter "Reach"
relationships.
Would be keen to know where else do you think the
"Rich" verses "Reach" exists and what do you think are its impact
/ consequences ?
