Today's rapidly changing and globally competitive business
environment mandates that 21st century leaders develop new models
and innovative learning processes of organizational leadership. To
meet these shifting needs, Action Learning (AL) has emerged as a
key training and problem-solving tool for companies as diverse as
Nokia, Samsung, Boeing, GE, Motorola, Marriott, General Motors,
Deutsche Bank, and British Airways. These and hundreds of other
companies around the world now employ AL for strategic planning to
develop managers, identify competitive advantages, reduce operating
costs, and create high-performing teams. What exactly is Action
Learning?Simply described, it is a dynamic process that involves a
small group of people solving real organizational problems, while
focusing on how their learning can benefit individuals, groups, and
the larger organization. The emphasis on learning is what makes
this process strategic rather than tactical in equipping leaders to
more effectively respond to change. This book demonstrates how
Action Learning can quickly and effectively be introduced,
implemented, and sustained in any type or size of organization
using six key components: a diverse group of 4 to 8 members; an
urgent task or problem; a question-driven communication process;
implementation of action strategies; a commitment to learning; and
an AL team coach.It features useful business case examples that
illustrate the power of AL in successfully developing leaders,
solving problems, building teams, and transforming organizations.
Recent developments that include skilled coaching and
question-based dialogue make it an even more powerful tool in
leadership and organizational development.This book is suitable for
consulting psychologists; I/O psychologists; management
consultants; executive coaches; human resource development
professionals; and graduate students in consulting psychology, I/O
psychology (especially, courses specific to groups, teams, and
cognition), human resource development, leadership development,
organizational development, organizational management sciences,
human organizational learning, business, and education courses.
