Training and Development in the Fourth Quadrant
By Marthanne Luzader
The field of training and development experienced great foment in the early
1970s. The excitement of growth abounded. By the 1980s a functional
training technology had been built and most large organizations maintained a
training department. The field matured into wisdom by the turn of the
century.
At least that's the way I see it. One day in the 1990s I heard a trainer
from the west coast speak about psychological type to the Austin Chapter of
The American Society for Training and Development. He said that Carl Jung,
the Swiss psychiatrist who formulated the theory of psychological type in
the 1920s, compared human development to a mandala. The first quadrant of
the mandala of life consists of growth; the second quadrant, of building;
the third, of maintaining; and the fourth, of wisdom.
Applying those quadrants to the field of training and development, I could
see it "growing up" after World War II and during the turbulent 1960s. When
I formed Luzader & Co. in 1980, I was building on knowledge newly won and
still in progress. As I maintained the company over the next 22 years,
universities began offering degrees in human resource development.
Accreditation for practitioners began. Early experimental ideas became
common practice. Organizations large and small wrote vision statements and
job descriptions and evaluated return on training investment. Perhaps we
are approaching wisdom.
So here's my wisdom on the subject: the ABCs of Training and Development at
Luzader & Co.
