Why CRU uses Action Learning
Leadership is not learned from watching a video or listening to a lecture. Bob Tiede looks back on using Action Learning for more than five years.
The power of
Why ?
Simon Sinek's insight about the importance of "why ?" remains a solid starting point to deal with challenges in the professional and personal environments. "Why ?" is also a powerful - and sometimes risky - question Action Learning teams can ask of themselves and their organization.

When an experienced facilitator discovers Action Learning
An experienced team facilitator recently participated in the Foundations workshop, and was so captivated by the power of Action Learning that he applied it right the next week to the team session of an important corporate
client. Georg Trapp describes the first session, and how the team moved from strong debate and a "I-know-best" mindset to a real dynamic of team exploration and mutual support. The story of how an experienced team facilitator discovers and ... falls in love with Action Learning !
Powerful testimonials
Those who are familiar with Action Learning all agree that it is way more
meaningful to experience a session than to try to explain how Action Learning works. Testimonials allow people to share their reflections on what Action learning means from them. We have voices from Poland from the very first Foundations workshop and from the New York Public Library where Action Learning has been used for more than a year !
Focusing on the group
Action Learning brings several benefits. Enhancing team dynamics and team processes is one of them. In this issue, MALC Dr Bea Carson elaborates on how a coach can help the team to continuously improve, whether they are struggling or whether they are already doing pretty well. Learning from the Masters has useful tips for coaches of all levels.

Verieux Mourillon shares how a few senior government officials who discovered Action Learning quickly decided to involve their entire departments.
