ABSTRACT
Whilst undertaking a Doctorate in Business Administration, I embarked upon a number of separate, but linked, action research programmes. It was during one of these earlier research programmes into action learning and learning styles preference that a participant made this comment:
When I first heard about action learning I thought, well this is going to be interesting, all sit around in a group and talk to each other but actually action learning is not about what you say, it’s about the way you say it and watching the body language. It’s not the words it’s the interaction between people and groups, and if there is anything I have learned from action learning, it is the hidden messages and it’s about how people want you to perceive these. It’s games, I mean it’s very serious games, but it is games.
