Learning As a Way of Being (Hardcover)

From the Publisher: In this title the author couples the concept of the learning organization - continual, on-the-job education and training for managerial leadership - with the continual change that permeates the modern workplace. He proposes an innovative method of learning as a way of being based on self-direction, creativity, and expressiveness.Offers a thoughtful critique of the roots of management education and argues that institutions of higher learning must teach managers how to integrate the discipline of learning into their very being. Such learning must be marked by strong self-direction, willingness to take risks, and integration of the learning that life teaches outside the classroom.
