FREE online courses on Building a Winning Team - YOUR PEOPLE - Learn   How People Learn

 

The valuable lessons of life are learnt by experience.  “ Serves you right!”  is the remark that a naughty child hears when the bottle of sweets, on the shelf it is scrambling up on a chair to reach, crashes to the floor. Lessons are deeply scored in its brain for life! We also have the capacity to learn vicariously… from other people's experiences, that's why biographies sell.

 

It is important to develop people by allowing them to make the mistakes that let them to learn their own lessons.

 

It requires judgement and timing… and commitment to staff development. Learning is a totally self-generated activity. It must be seen as consistent with organizational goals.  Learning (and problem-solving) can be seen as a cyclical process of continuing and overlapping activities:

 

 

                                                           

                                                                                                    

 

                                                  

                                              

 

There has to be balanced use of all four in order to benefit from the process. The best compromise, especially where there is little leeway for job-content modification, is to delegate according to natural tendency, e.g. the ‘theorist' gets the job of researching product specifications.

 

Getting down to the task of tackling  ‘neglected' areas of the cycle means patience and gradually easing someone into ‘contrary' or ‘against current' areas, but it's unavoidable for development. Increased exposure to ‘neglected' areas will be important. Regular progress review and feedback, as usual, play an important role in the learning process.

 

QUESTIONS:

 

1.              How do people learn?  What are the compulsions / processes?

 

2.              What has learning theory concerning humans to do with delegation? Explain various aspects of the situation, giving examples to illustrate your answer.
