Are you a team leader or middle manager? Are you new into management? Do you often find yourself having to manage many different things on the go all the time? For example:
>Learning on the job
>Managing change constantly
>Being at the sharp end of operational issues
>Making things happen
>Finding solutions to problems
>No time for own learning and development
>Working in isolation with limited access to support networks
The solution could be Action Learning.
