For me and my people, learning never works when it is a task independent of actual work, meaning I only learn something new when I see a place I can use it.
Learning must be optional, never required. And must have incentive: I learn programming because it makes my work faster. But if I can't use my program, I feel like I wasted my time.
Learning should tell me that I am increasing my value.
I can never learn new stuff just because I am supposed to. Nor will anyone suffer a book if there is no IMMEDIATE benefit.
