Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.From Mr John Cole Sir: You report that adventure courses for managers may be doing more harm than good. I'm not surprised because the focus in such courses is merely on the tasks set.
Development of people involves learning from the processes involved and the skills used in carrying out tasks. Sensitive tutors help participants to identify and transfer all this to their normal work.
The outdoors presents an abnormal context (which can be stimulating) in which good training designers will use imagination rather than mountains and offer collaboration and other organisational options rather than physical competition.
Yours faithfully, JOHN COLE Sutton Coldfield West Midlands 5 January
