MPiViT Additional Resources v1 011116
We all have different preferences for how we learn.
Usually, a mix of visual, auditory and kinesthetic, which means through physical movement.
Learning, where we gain deep knowledge, rather than just facts or information, happens when we:
- Have experiences
- Review those experiences
- Relate experiences to theories, models and concepts at which point we often get the 'light bulb' moment of understanding or learning.
- Plan how we're going to consciously use the learning in similar situations in future.
This process is called the Kolb's Learning Cycle – Do, Reflect, Conceptualize, Plan.
The Learning Cycle is similar to the principles of TQM, Continuous Improvement, Operational Excellence and the Japanese philosophy of Kaizen used in the motor manufacturing industry.
To enable you to enrich your learning on MPiViT we have put together a list of additional resources for you to explore, that will broaden your learning about Leadership & Management in High Performing Virtual Teams.
