Education

Diploma, Leaders of Learning
  • at Harvard University
  • May 2017

Learning as a social activity, as an engine of creativity and innovation, and productivity in society, is going to be exploding in the foreseeable future. And it's also going to present many, many possible alternatives for leadership and for the development of new and powerful modes of learning. Learn what's your own personal theory of learning and how learning occurs through the Modes of Learning assessment. Take your basic ideas about how people learn--and what's important about the learning process--and translate them into concrete ideas about the types of leadership practices you want to pursue. The kinds of organizations which you're drawn to for the learning experience and the learning environment, and the physical design of those learning environments.
