Training versus development.
Train for compliance.
Develop for commitment.
Compliance shouldn’t be taken in a negative context here. Compliance is when employees (and children) and doing exactly what they should be doing, exactly when it should be.
Commitment, however, is doing more than you are paid (or as children, expected) to do and to do it willingly, and to do it all the time.

While his initiative was not good (perhaps from a trained parent-child relationship), his execution was stellar.
A huge step in development.

On April Fool’s Day 2009, jeff noel began writing five daily, differently-themed blogs (on five different sites). It was to be a 100-day self-imposed “writer’s bootcamp”, in preparation for writing his first book. He hasn’t missed a single day since.
