Social, political, and economic forces are necessitating quantum and constant change in individuals, businesses, and whole economies. To meet those demands, our methods for developing leaders require equal revolution.

Using a multidimensional case-study research design, Deep Learning explores the experiences of one company developing leaders' abilities using what is often referred to as “transformative learning.” This process of deep learning is an experience that causes significant awareness and/or shifts of assumptions, perspectives, and frames-of-reference that one holds or oneself, of others, or of the world.

Building on existing qualitative research, this book provides process observation of a deep learning experience, using opinion-polling of subject matter experts, semi-structured interviews, and participant observation to describe the practices and organizational supports used to successfully foster deep learning in leaders. In analyzing this experience, Dr. Mindy Hall identifies the foundational components for facilitating deep learning in organizations, provides a theoretical model articulating their interaction, and offers suggestions for the model's use as both a design and diagnostic tool.

Published by VDM Verlag Dr. Mueller, this scholarly text is targeted primarily for institutions. Dr. Hall's next book—tentatively titled Unlocking Potential in Yourself and Your Organization—will be for the consumer market, and aims to help both individuals and organizations shape their impact more intentionally.
