Training implies deficiencies or inadequacies. Instead, I use the word rehearsal. Everyone knows that Broadway stars rehearse, rock stars rehearse—so there is no threat to the ego. When training becomes “rehearsal” and is positioned as a perk, then it is far more likely to happen.

It's hard to give an honest feedback to top managers. This situation makes it awkward if someone will be willing to do it. It'll most likely create a different meaning for the other employees. True.
