Management Learning 'Productive Reflection at Work is a major
addition to the literature on reflection at work. The focus of the
book is on the idea that reflection is what connects learning and
work. The Editors emphasize the importance of reflecting together
in the workplace, and they highlight the learning that can occur
when productivity and interpersonal engagement are explicitly
linked. The book provides the foundations for future thinking about
the organization of reflection, and especially helps to transform
the current over-emphasis on individuals' ability to reflect with
clear and comprehensive arguments for collective reflection. This
book is essential reading for all scholars and practitioners with
an interest in learning and work. It moves across disciplines,
drawing together a fascinating and important compilation of views
on collective and organizational reflection. David Boud, Peter
Cressey and Peter Docherty are leading the development of a new
idea - productive reflection - and they have generated a collection
of chapters to demonstrate its importance and value. This volume is
a significant and welcome contribution to our understanding of how
reflection can be embedded into work organizations.' - Russ Vince,
Professor of Organizational Behaviour and HRM, the University of
Hull, UK
