Experiential Team Learning
When people work together, they create shared experiences that they can learn from. Managers can coach teams through the experiential learning cycle by ensuring that they reflect on their experiences to assess performance and find ways to improve, innovate, and change. As teams develop new ideas, managers approve and prioritize those ideas. Most importantly, managers ensure that new ideas are implemented and tested.
