Synopsis

Making practical the promise of the learning organization, the authors present an approach to continuous learning - rooted in day-to-day work experiences - for managers, mentors and coaches who are ready to create and work with the learning systems of the future.

Revue de presse

"Learning is the most valuable benefit we can offer employees, and our ability as a company to learn faster and better than compeitors is our most valuable competitive resource. Working Wisdom is about how to help people and organizations get smarter––or wiser––every day. No management–speak here; just time–tested strategies for mentoring people and accelerating learning. Nowhere have I found such a thoughtful, practical approach." Douglas McKenna, general manager, executive and management development, Microsoft Corporation

"An opportunity to gain an insight into the pragmatics of organizational learning. Aubrey and Cohen go beyond the fashionable to show why organizations pursuing this course are gaining competitive advantage in global markets." Patrick Canavan, corporate vice president and director of global leadership and organizational development, Motorola, Inc.

"A powerful, profoundand most often ignoredview of the process of attaining wisdom. Aubrey and Cohen take the basic learning model and translate it into a practical guide for leaders. This thoughtful, readable, and energetic book was, for me at any rate, the missing link: what I had not previously found in so many discussions of learning organizations and learning networks. Bravo!" from the foreword by Tom Peters

"Here is indeed a wise book that advances the ′new wave′ of thinking about the theory and practice of adult education––the creation of learning organizations and, in fact, a learning society. It is loaded with real–life examples of the strategies available for applying working wisdom in the workplaces. It′s new. It′s different. It′s a treasure chest." Malcolm S. Knowles, Ph.D., professor emeritus of Adult and Community College Education, North Carolina State University
