Learning To Learn In The Countryside

Together with the Consultancy Project and the International Module, the Mindful Manager module completes Lancaster’s focus on change, leadership and strategy.

Lancaster University Management School MBA students and their professors headed to the Lancashire countryside for a day as part of the Mindful Manager module.

The objective was “developing their capacity to learn”, explains Dr. Peter Lenney, Module Leader of the program.

“At Lancaster we feel that their real learning about managing is going to take place after they’re back in the work place, so we have to equip them with the reflective skills that allow them to prosper from reflection on their experience once they’re in the work place”.

Watch this video to find out more about the reflection session and the competitive management games the students got involved in.

looks like a fun outing, but might be a bit ambitious to answer the question "who am I" in a single day-trip to the countryside!

The mindfulness day (day?) is great, but it sounds as if a great opportunity to think about learning from Nature was missed. The competitive games? Seriously, don't we hear enough about competition in most MBA programs?
