The Provocateur Paradigm (article)
Lamplighter / American Society for Training & Development

March 10, 1988

Initially, a very controversial and much talked-about deconstruction piece about how adults can learn (or not) within organizations if risk is perceived. Initially, it received a very heated "love him" or "hate him" reception. Mostly "hate him." I was regarded as a "maverick," in the worst sense of the word. No middle ground to speak of. However, over the 25+ years that have passed since publication of the piece, the majority of the "hate him" folks have switched sides. Academically speaking, I am now regarded as a "respected (albeit unorthodox) theorist," rather than as some kind of renegade.
Lessons: Trust your gut. Be honest. Don't "fudge" the facts to support your case however weak
your position may seem to be at the time. And ...Stick to your guns.
