Learning As a Way of Being: Strategies for Survival in a World of Permanent White Water, 1st Hardcover - 1996 - 1st Edition

  • first

In his 1989 book Managing a Performing Art, Peter Vaill coined the phrase "permanent white water" to describe the turbulent environment in which we all work. Now, Vaill couples the concept of the "learning organization"--continual, on-the-job education and training for managerial leadership--with the continual change that permeates the modern workplace to create an innovative method of "learning as a way of being", based on self-direction, creativity, and expressiveness.

From the jacket flap

Author Peter Vaill offers a thoughtful critique on the roots of management education. He argues that, if managers are to navigate the waters skillfully, institutions of "higher learning" must teach them how to integrate the discipline of learning into their very beings. Such learning must be marked by strong self-direction, a willingness to take risks, and an openness to the lessons that life teaches outside the classroom. One of the top-ten organization development specialist working today, Vaill's observations on how to embrace continuous learning as a lifestyle make for valuable reading in this age of incessant innovation.
