Professor William Torbert Releases Book
Action Inquiry: The secret of timely and transforming leadership
William Torbert, a professor of Organization Studies at the Carroll School of Management, has released Action Inquiry: The Secret of Timely and Transforming Leadership through Berrett-Koehler Publishers. This book introduces a fresh approach to helping individuals and organizations learn in the midst of the cut and thrust of daily action. “Action inquiry” is a highly accessible process whereby we can go beyond muddling through daily dilemmas to exercise transforming power at key moments, as well as timely action on a continual basis. This process not only allows for the correction of errors before they have negative consequences for business outcomes and trust, but can also be experienced as a pleasurable and energizing dance as a critical mass of colleagues join in, creating a positive climate for ongoing learning.
