Our daily experiences at work provide us with endless opportunities to learn - which is the principle underlying action learning. If you want to understand the benefits of being part of an AL programme, or would like to set one up but need to know more, then this popular guide could be an ideal place to start. It is both a manifesto for a key approach to management development, and a personal and practical guide for anyone looking for a reliable introduction. This revised edition includes expanded material on set advisers and on putting an effective programme into practice, together with a new chapter on the future of AL.
