Description
Summary:This article proposes and describes a model for understanding the political issues associated with and impacting upon, individual learning for project leaders, whilst they are leading an innovation project. The value in this model is that it provides a means of conceptualizing and reconciling the interplay of the political issues and the learning activity of the project leader, and, building a practical agenda for optimising the benefits of learning. The applied qualitative research supporting the model and conclusions, was conducted with two project leaders involved in leading two large, separate, but interrelated projects within one Australian manufacturing operation over a period of 5 years.
