What are the benefits of Action Learning?

Problem Solving - You get coaching – you benefit from a variety of styles and perspectives. Challenges your assumptions and the generalisations that you make. Helps you to understand how you can influence group dynamics – you can try different things and then transfer what works back into teams 

Support -
Supportive group affirmation and holding to account. Loyalty to the group, commitment to self and group creates effortless pull to achieve your development points. Chance to experience the cumulative benefit of strong relationships - becomes increasingly safe and productive the more you work together. Helps your clarity around your identity, your strengths, what makes you happy at work. You get feedback in an environment where you can work with it. 

Skills development - Practice ground for your coaching skills.  Leading – through the different ways that you intervene in the group. Interpersonal skills. Interacting in a group. Improving listening and questioning skills.

Applying self awareness themes -  Reflection on personality / preferences / natural style – gives you more choices.
Avoids the full risk of creativity – you can try out ideas, rehearse something, practise different way of doing something and get feedback from others. Builds confidence to go out and do something that is more challenging.

Personal development - 
Time and space to reflect on things that happened at work and grasp more of what went past very fast. Consolidation of learning from what you are working on. Cumulative development – a discipline that the group helps you to maintain. You become less self-deceiving, more responsible for your actions.

Empowering -  practice in the group gives you more control.
Middle managers can regain their power to take action and make good decisions (despite uncertainty) that are usually seen to be taken elsewhere in the hierarchy. This sets a good example for their teams.
