Here is what Gavin Cargill of Value the Person International shared with us in September 2006.

Gavin opened his subject by saying it was not so much “touchy–feely” as “kicky–punchy”. He then mentioned the longstanding friendship between our Prime Minister and the Chancellor, so we got the idea!

Gavin has for some years been a student of the Gallup Organisation’s research findings. Gallup is known to many for conducting opinion polls, but that activity forms only 3% of its work. It does much more work in the areas of talent development and organisational practices, e.g. offering solutions for managing organisational performances.

Here are some of the questions raised.  You can also download the full report on his talk using the icon below.
