Abstract: Companies have found that investment in human capital in the form of learning and development yields high returns. The companies which recognize the value of their employees give more importance on learning and development, and they are becoming more competitive and successful as a result. The right way to produce leaders in your organization is not to train them but to develop them through coaching and mentoring. While training focuses on how things are done right now, development focuses on how things ought to be done in the future. When training focuses on compliance, development focuses on performance.
