Hi,

I'd love to know your Top 5 Must-Have Training Books.

Here are mine:
The Fifth Discipline
The Accelerated Learning Handbook
Evaluating Training Handbook
The ASTD Training and Development Handbook
Active Learning

Thanks!!!

I would add anything by Sharon Bowman. In particular -

How to Give it So They Get It
Preventing Death by Lecture

My top books are focused on designing curriculum, not on the delivery. So, from an instructional design perspective... I think Ruth Clark is tops.

Efficiency In Learning
Developing Technical Training
eLearning and the Sciene of Instruction
The New Virtual Classroom

To round out my Top Five:

Job Aids and Performance Support by Rossett & Schafer

Amen to Ruth Clark!! You can't get any better than that.

One that I always recommend is "Flawless Consulting" by Peter Block. Many consider it the bible of consulting. It's the best thing I've seen in how to get others together to work on designing and implementing training. If you're struggling with getting buy-in and consensus, you'll like this book.
