Action Learning in Action
Transforming Problems and People for World-class Organizational Learning
Description:... In this volume, Michael Marquardt brings together step-by-step guidance and the personal accounts of frontline managers to show how to create and implement an action learning program in any organization. Copublished with the American Society for Training and Development, Action Learning in Action uses solid research results and extensive real-world examples to make the critical connection between action learning and organizational learning.
