Herding Racehorses, Racing Sheep
Monday 17:15 - 18:00 (Conference Hall)

Are you frustrated by experts who can't articulate what to *do*, or by junior staff who refuse to see the big picture? How do you know how much responsibility to give people, and how much to accept from others? And how can you best develop careers: yours and those around you? Join us for the solutions to these and other problems as we turn the Pragmatic Spotlight (and a good dose of our twisted sense of humor) on learning models, the nursing profession, and streamlining sheep.
