the capacity to reflectto say “I screwed up”to say “I’m sorry”to say “I’m happy’ with
what i’ve got”to say i won’t be doing

pygmalionbad, bad coaching like bad science is everywhere: be critical, be sceptical
Wilhelm Reich, Austrian psychotherapist and disciple of Sigmund Freud, also invented the the orgone accumulator. His theory being that almost all psychological problems could be solved with an optimal orgasm. And the orgone accumulator provided just that for Mailer, Salinger, Burroughs and Kerouac
he later applied the same ‘science’ to rainmaking....

assimilative learning
school subjects: learning is cumulative and related closely to a context. difficult to access outside this context.
lifelong learning... how do I have to learn?
transcendent learning
something isolated from context but forces us to rethink how we do something. accepting something and internalising it.
transformative learning
something which changes us, our personality and how we see the world. This hurts!
cumulative learning: your pin number
your dog learning to sit

The coping cycle(Source: adapted from Carnall, 2007, p. 241.)
Think about your own experiences and those of colleagues in confronting a major change at work or in life.1 How far did people’s responses follow the stages of the coping cycle?2 Why do you think the reactions you describe were similar or different to those described in the stages above?

when do we do leadership?
• command
• management
• leadership
adapted from Keith Grint ‘ wicked problems, clumsy solutions
pygmalion
• critical
• tame problem
• diabolical problem
Imagine: you break your leg. Your friends take you to hospital. This is a critical situaton and the response is clear. At the hospital, the doctors apply ‘elegant solutions’. they use management and follow process. But what type of problem is it if you are taken to a restaurant?
