Strong Value of Self-Directed LearningThe ability to manage one's own learning is an increasingly critical skill. Bouchard explains, “Over the years, it has become increasingly clear that traditional approaches to [training!!] program design and delivery in the workplace and in associative organizations present some important weaknesses. Problem areas include: coping with the short life span of useful knowledge; passing down acquired competencies to succeeding cohorts; accommodating the demands of productivity while providing for a continuity of learning; [and!!] enabling learners to pursue activities that correspond to their learning styles and needs” (in Self-Directed Learning in Organizational Settings (working paper), Concordia University, Montreal, Canada, p. 1).
This topic in the library provides an excellent opportunity to begin managing your learning. To learn more about self-directed learning, seeStrong Value of Self-Directed Learning in the Workplace
INFORMAL ACTIVITIES TO LEARN ABOUT MANAGEMENT Informal Activities to Learn About Management
There are a wide range of everyday and on-the-job activities from which you can learn about management and even enhance your management skills. Informal methods can include, for example, reading books, having discussions with friends, on-the-job training, keeping a diary with thoughts about management, etc. One of the more insidious ways to avoid learning to manage is by reading lots of books about management, rather than actually implementing any of the advice offered in any of them. You're not likely to develop much for management skills merely by reading, talking or attending a course unless you actually apply new materials and methods, and continue to reflect on what you're learning along the way.
One of the most effective and reliable ways to learn is to do so consciously, in a planned fashion. Therefore, be sure to consider customizing your own management training plan. Complete guidelines are provided in the next section, Customizing Your Own Management Planning and development Plan.

There are a variety of ways to identify your training goals, depending on what you want to be able to accomplish as a result of implementing your training plan.
