Importance of Double-Loop Thinking and Reflecting

This week you are contrasting action learning with critical action learning, and the importance of double-loop thinking and reflecting is emphasised in the literature. To lead effectively in an age of complexity, leaders must be able to both engage in deep questioning and make meaning out of seemingly ambiguous situations. Use the Readings and this week?s media resource to consider the meaning of critical action learning, criticality, and the ways these can relate to individual and organisational learning.
Given this week?s required readings and your further research, complete a 750-1,000 word Literature Synthesis by Saturday that:
Critically evaluates key arguments from both a scholarly and a practitioner-oriented point of view;
Critiques underlying assumptions evident in the articles and identifies any new insights for practice and scholarship;
Extends the thinking and application of your review with additional resources and experiential analyses.
Consider in your synthesis the various perspectives on diversity and their meaning for leaders in organisations. Your Literature Synthesis will be brought to the Learning Set for further consideration to inform the problematising of the workplace-based problem you have chosen for this module?s CAL Project.
