Congenial Ways of Learning: So Near and Yet so Far

Abstract

“Real time” experiential learning for managers appears to be taxing on the emotions and tough on the nerves. How readily can this be changed by equipping managers to learn more congenially? It is argued that such a mission borders on the impossible. Some of the psychological and cultural barriers that would be encountered are examined and the strong, opposing institutional forces that will need to be contended with are considered.
