Action Learning: A Practical Guide

by Krystyna Weinstein

Overview

Our daily experiences at work provide us with endless opportunities to learn - which is the principle underlying action learning. If you want to understand the benefits of being part of an AL programme, or would like to set one up but need to know more, then this popular guide is an ideal place to start. It is both a manifesto for a key approach to management development, and a very personal and practical guide for anyone looking for a reliable introduction.
Based on the author's extensive experience, and on that of numerous participants, this new edition includes expanded material on set advisers and on putting an effective programme into practice, together with a chapter on the future of AL.
