Product Description
Product Description
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 could be an ideal place to start. It is both a manifesto for a key approach to management development, and a personal and practical guide for anyone looking for a reliable introduction. This revised edition includes expanded material on set advisers and on putting an effective programme into practice, together with a new chapter on the future of AL.
From the Back Cover
THE SUCCESSFUL MANAGER SERIES
Edited by Bob Garratt
Our daily experiences and, particularly, our work, provide us with endless opportunities to learn; yet many people only think of learning as something which takes place passively, in a lecture room. Through its emphasis on undertaking action through real work-based experiences and problems, its focus on personal learning, on reflection, and analysis and on learning with a group who share, listen, question and encourage 'new actions', action learning is a powerful new opportunity for those who undertake it.
Taking us through the practicalities of the action-learning programme, with comments from the participants themselves, 'Action Learning' is a complete manifesto for this revolutionary approach to management development. Action learning teaches skills that are of immediate and practical benefit at work. This book shows you the way forward for business in the 1990s and helps you to learn throughout your life.

I was disappointed when my copy of this was stolen. It was the most useful action learning book in my library. Good theory, excellent practical advice, based on real experience. A gem.

This book was recommended to me as a beginner in the skill of facilitating action learning sets. I have found it invaluable as it has helped to give me the confidence in developing the skill following my short course. It is excellent for quick reference and would highly recommend this book.
