Management Apprenticeship - Level 7 (Day 5) Reviews

There is a still a lot of content to process in one session and I feel as though I can't really engage enough with the content. I wonder if I might be having more trouble with the course being online than I had initially thought. I have also been reflecting on the use of models. I'm struggling with the volume of models being introduced and whether or not I will realistically use them. This is probably more of a general comment on models and tools in leadership and what I feel about their value... I suppose I am most interested with the thinking around them and how this challenges/changes my own thinking. I have noticed (and perhaps incorrectly) that there is a general lack of diversity in the content we are studying. To the best of my knowledge, I think we have predominantly been looking at models and ways of thinking from white CIS males - with the exception of Michael. C. Bush and Amy Edmondson. Although, it may be that I have gotten this wrong.

Not enough time spent introducing big ideas by the facilitators, thankfully I already had an introduction to them through my learning. Not enough time dedicated to discussions in break out rooms.

I filled this out at the time and it failed to upload, so I'm going to be a bit briefer this time. This was my least favourite training day. Partly as the relevance to SMO was less explicit. Felt a bit like we were covering things because we had to and I had to work harder to make it meaningful to my situation. Perhaps for this reason I was less fulfilled by the format of: slides, small groups, fill in a form, feedback. I struggled to feel engaged or feel like I was learning well. This is in contrast to previous sessions which I've enjoyed enormously.
