Learning Style Model

Activists

They like to be involved in new experiences. They have open mind and accept new ideas with excitement but sometimes are bored after their establishment. They like doing things, they tend to act first and thenrealise the impact of the actions. They like working with others and they like to be seen.

Reflectors

They like to keep at the back and watch the situation from different perspective. They collect data and think twice before they come to a conclusion. They watch others and will listen to their insights, before offering their own.

Theorists

They like to adjust and compile their observations into complex and reliable theories. They think through problems step by step. They tend to be perfectionists and things have to fall into a rational scheme. In their thinking they apply analytical thinking rather than be emotional and subjective.

Pragmatists

They are excited if they can try something out in practise. They want concepts applicable in their work. Long discussions arise their impatience. They are realists and keep their feet on the ground.

Competency Development – Good Practices• Multiple approaches for competency development More emphasis on -.

• • High potential receive 360 degree assessment & feedback on the leadership style early on.

• Mid-career Managers receives job shadowing opportunities.

• Job shadowing is a work experience option where a person learn about a job by walking

through the work day as a shadow to a competent worker.

• Mid-level Mangers get enough time to take part in leadership development activities early

in their career.

• Successful leaders spends a lot of time with their subordinated on the job. It gives them

insight about strengths/ weaken is the first step towards leveraging competency

development.

• Effective Leaders focus both on developing competencies of their people as well as

creating work environment that leverage competencies for superior performances.

Training & Development Principles; True or False• A person normally has all the competencies required for a ‘job’ or

‘role’• It is equally easy to develop all types of competencies.• Best way to be effective is to improve upon weak areas rather than

leveraging the strengths one has.• One can improve upon any number of weak areas or large number of

weak areas at a time.• Most of learning or development take place through reading & class

room training.• One can take a horse to the water & make him drink water even if it is

not thirsty.• Others around employee such as his Boss play a very important role in

his learning & development.• All people learn or develop by following same styles such as reading or

through experience.• All the competencies required to perform to job effectively are equally

important.

Please state True or False against each statement• A person normally has all the competencies required for a ‘job’ or

‘role’• It is possible or easy to develop all competencies.• best way to be effective is to improve upon weak areas rather than

leveraging the strengths one has.• One can improve upon any number of weak areas or large number of

Page 21: Training & Development. Training & Development; Coverage Sound principles for Learning & Development. Training & Development Steps(training needs identification,

Training & Development Principles• You become more effective by leveraging your strengths & also other’s

strengths.• Some competencies are easy & some are difficult to develop. • Focus on critical few at any point of time while trying to develop

competencies.• Look at those critical few competencies that matter more then others.

Any given role or point of time only those critical few matter.• Look at what are those very few but may constitute great strengths or

fatal flaws. These few but critical strengths catapult a person to great heights. Or those fatal flaws though very few in number pull the person down.

• Passion for learning does matter. One’s interest for learning is very important. Although, others play important role in her learning & development.

• There are multiple ways of learning & all of them do help some body to learn & develop. However, practices is the most effective way.

• People have their preferred learning style.
