Action Learning
Purpose
Solve real problems while developing leadership capability simultaneously
How to Use
1. Form an action learning set of 4-8 people who meet regularly. 2. One person presents a real, live challenge -- not a solved problem. 3. The set asks questions only -- no advice, no solutions. Questions help the presenter think more deeply. 4. A learning coach may be present to intervene if the set slips into advice-giving. 5. The presenter commits to an action to take before the next meeting. 6. At the next meeting, begin with a review of what happened with the previous commitment.
