About this Item

Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.

About this title

Synopsis

Shows how learning is critical to the success of managers and their corporations

From the Back Cover

In today's business world, competitive advantage is achieved only when executives, managers, and their organizations are able to harness the power of knowledge by promoting and maximizing intentional learning at work. Based on the authors' rigorous 12-year study, this essential guide provides a dynamic blueprint for implementing intentional learning in the workplace, both individually and company-wide. Drawing on interviews with today's business leaders, The Learning Edge reveals where and how the best learning occurs, and shows what you should be learning to increase your value to your firm and to position yourself for future success. With the aid of charts, graphs, and personal action plans, the book reveals the five S.M.A.R.T. components essential to the learning process, including how you can: Select a learning goal. Map out a detailed learning plan. Act on your plan to make learning part of your daily routine. Review what you've accomplished and evaluate what you've learned. Target your next learning goal. At the same time, The Learning Edge examines the cutting-edge practices of Eastman Kodak, Corning, Motorola, Boeing, J.P. Morgan and other pacesetters to reveal how any company can transform itself into a flexible and responsive learning organization that consistently outthinks and outmaneuvers the competition. Detailed yet far-reaching, The Learning Edge arms both you and your organization with the tools and processes that are critical to individual and corporate success.
