Mahidol University Leadership Development Question

Once you have reviewed the background materials  and gained a solid understanding about the main steps and challenges of  action learning, write a 4- to 5-page paper addressing the following  questions:

1. Since this is your last Case Assignment for the  class, start out this assignment by reflecting on what you have found in  your Module 1-3 Case Assignments. Based on your prior assignments and  what you have learned so far, what do you think are some of the main  areas you and/or some of the coworkers that you have written about  should try to improve upon?
2. Now turn to Chapter 1 of Pedler and  Abbot (2013) and pages 41-42 of Passmore (2011) where the potential  benefits of action learning is discussed. Based on your answer to  Question 1 above and from these two readings, what would you hope to  improve upon using an action learning program? Do you think action  learning would help you improve in these areas? Explain your reasoning  both with respect to the readings and the areas for improvement in your  leadership that you have identified so far in this class.
3. Go to  the “Organizational Readiness for Action Learning” quiz on pages 43-44  of Pedler and Abbot (2013). Fill it out and report your results. Overall  what does the quiz say about your organization’s readiness to engage in  an action learning program? Do you agree with the results? What kind of  challenges do you think you would face in setting up an action learning  program at your organization?
4. Finally, take a look at pages  37-38 of Passmore (2011) and Chapter 8 of Marquardt (2004), which give  step-by-step guidelines on setting up an action learning program. Based  on your answers to Questions 1-3, how would you design an action  learning program in your workplace? Include in your answer what kind of  problem your set would work on, who you would include in your set, how  often you think the group should meet, and other relevant steps outlined  in the required readings. Explain the reasoning for your choices and  what kind of outcomes you would hope to get out of this experience.
