Despite conflicting belief systems and other divisive problems,
people can still learn from each other to create new knowledge. The
medium is conversation. This challenging new book asserts that
business conversations can be seen as social experiences through
which we discover new ways of seeing the world, destroying the
barriers between us. When this occurs, new knowledge can emerge or
be developed.
How can people learn from their differences, rather than be
divided by them? One way is by creating conversational
spaces--areas where conversation occurs. The authors show how such
spaces are created, maintained, and enhanced, and how they are used
to transform different interpretations and perspectives into new
common understandings. With illustrations and case studies, the
authors demonstrate the practical value of conversational learning
in diverse organizational settings. Emphasis is shifted from
techniques that are essentially insensitive to different contexts,
attitudes, and beliefs, focusing instead on a theory of learning
that is more social and interactive. This remarkable new source of
explanatory theory validates an intensely pragmatic way to help
organizations get people talking to one another, thereby advancing
the well being of the organizations and those within them.
Being a lifelong learner is one of the secrets to happiness,
success, and personal fulfillment. But what's the best way to
become one? Kay Peterson and David Kolb have the answer. They offer
deep, research-based insights into the ideal process of learning
and guide you in identifying your dominant style. You'll discover
how knowing your learning style can help you with all kinds of
everyday challenges, from remembering someone's name to adding a
crucial professional skill to your repertoire. This book is a guide
to awakening the power of learning that lies within each of us.
