Example text
If you’re a manager, you have the ability, by using your own behaviour as an example, to give your department a ‘facelift’. • You don’t have to become a different person to ‘sell’. • Others are a helpful resource, a network to be used and developed. • By behaving less competitively and working ‘constructively’ with others, you can achieve more. • You can contribute directly to strategic decisions even if you have little responsibility. • You’re not alone with your quandaries and dilemmas, or even your doubts and fears.
Action learning stops that. Another participant put it slightly differently: Others see things you don’t ... but it’s the way you learn this that is the hallmark of action learning. You see this through listening and observing and hearing them talk and being non-judgemental, just taking things in. Many participants talked of the action learning ‘spirit’: What distinguishes the action learning spirit is that it’s not about answers to questions or decision-oriented, but about questions and space to talk and think.
As time goes by, participants find more learning opportunities. In fact, the set and its process become major sources of learning (see below).
