Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Coaching, counseling, mentoring, and teaching relationships are all created to enhance development. Although each type of Learning Partnership is unique, relationships that promote high learning and growth are similar. By understanding how these relationships work, we can increase our learning and effectiveness. This book translates research and theory into everyday language and illustrates it with real life examples that can be used to improve your learning relationships and build capacity in your organization. While the relationship is essential, the environment also plays a key role in capacity building. The author examines the structures and processes that provide the framework for learning and development. Anecdotal examples are based on experiences of people in corporations, not for profits and public sector organizations. The emphasis is on personal growth for the reader, while also targeting leaders who have responsibility for enhancing learning within their organizations.
