A Compelling Case for Fostering Development at Work

4 stars

This book makes a compelling case for making adult development a central part of work. Some of the case studies seem to veer into extremes that don't fit with what would be possible in most organizations, but the exploration of fostering growth in adults is robust and given through concrete practices. I appreciated bringing in Integral theory near the end of the book. I first explored Integral and development theories before I was in leadership roles and appreciated them intellectually. Now I see how they can influence praxis and have a deeper appreciation of what they bring to thinking about work. This book is an accessible way to frame them in the context of leadership.
