Leadership and Management Programmes

As with the induction, it is important for you to complete this pre-work in advance of the first Module and prepare your comments and questions about them:

• Read Creating Breakthrough: The Leadership of Transformational Change - Theory U article by Malcolm Young
• Read Good Communication that Blocks Organisational Learning, Chris Arygris (Harvard Business Review. Jul/Aug1994, Vol. 72 Issue 4, p77. 9p. 5 Color Photographs). Please note that an Open Athens password is required to access this article, or it can be accessed by entering the title and author on your browser. 

Your group facilitators will spend time during Module 1 explaining more about both the concept and process of Adaptive Learning, before you start working in your Sets for the first time. Please download and read the Adaptive Learning Set Process Guide and bring any questions you have about this.  If helpful, you can watch the Adaptive Learning Set vimeo from the Induction to refresh on what is involved.

Additional (optional) reading around the topics covered in Module 1: To consider the potential applications of the “U process” further, read this article by Zaid Hassan, Connecting to Source : The U Process (2006), which provides the writer’s perspective and some examples of how he has applied it to his own thinking and work in practice.
