Description: "Organizational survival in our era will depend upon our ability to learn from our work. In this book, author Joe Raelin introduces the unique but very practical approach of "work-based learning." Recognizing the limits of a pure classroom model for organizational change, work-based learning allows us to learn in the midst of practice by expressly examining the intersection of knowledge and experience. Work-based learning offers managers and executive educators, faced with the relentless pace of pervasive change, an opportunity to overcome time pressures by reflecting upon and learning from the artistry of their own actions."--Jacket.

"Through numerous examples from his some twenty-five years as an educator and consultant, Raelin illustrates how to learn collectively with colleagues who also wish to grow professionally."--Jacket.
