Expert learning

Effective managers make mistakes, but they dont make the same mistakes twice

Double loop learning
|
Effective learners engage in this process: involves a recipricol interchange between leaders and teams. Leaders not only coach and direct and instruct their teams, but the teams also help their leaders learn.
