Developing Emerging Leaders with Action Research & Action Learning
By Renee Huss, Corporate Services Instructor/Consultant
 Action research and action learning are two related but distinctly different strategies for developing emerging leaders outside the confines of the traditional classroom. Companies who choose either of these approaches are looking for innovative, high-impact methodologies that will prepare their high potentials to tackle both current and future business challenges in the marketplace. Not only can these strategies yield a high return on invested time, money and effort, they can be significantly less expensive and more relevant to emerging leaders than other forms of leadership training and development. Here's the Cliff's Notes version of how this works. The executive team of Company X creates a list of current and upcoming challenges their business is or will be facing, and charges their emerging leadership team to do research on those challenges (action research) and to make recommendations on how to address them. If one of the recommendations shows particular promise, Company X may decide to take the additional step of asking their emerging leadership team to follow through and develop their recommendation (action learning). Read on to learn more. To discuss how the Corporate Services' team may help you advance your emerging leaders contact Kathie Chambers or at 314-539-5309. |
