As children, we learn by doing something - by testing it out. However, as we grow older, we tend to read and listen, until we know about something - not necessarily how, when and what if. Action learning involves working on real problems, focusing on learning and implementing solutions. With its emphasis on working as a group, who share, communicate, listen, question and encourage, the book offers a means of motivating people to take on the responsibility to tackle work issues together, to have the courage and confidence to take risks.
