abstract |
A learning culture is fostered where there is a positive association between learning
and well-being. We express this heuristically as: learning enables well-being (‘learn
enough to be well’) and, in reverse, well-being enables learning (‘be well enough
to learn’).
A sense of emotional and political/institutional security and well-being is needed
for people to overcome defensiveness and be open to learning, especially within the
context of learning from failure. Defensiveness is very understandable, because learning
involves admitting to the need to learn; the idea that one could have done things
better; and the anxieties of imperfection. Defensiveness makes particular sense in
organizational environments where things happen quickly and unpredictably, and where
the stakes are high, both individually and institutionally - in other words, an environment
like MPS.
Well-being at MPS is, therefore, not just an appealing objective in its own right;
we argue that it helps to underpin a successful culture of learning. This means that
efforts to enhance well-being are one of the ways to strengthen and improve OL.
We have developed a model of five different reasons for failure, which depicts three
types of failure: Preventable; Tolerable; and Intelligent. We are using it to help
frame the challenges for MPS officers and staff to feel that it is safe to learn.
Receptiveness to learning involves feeling reasonably secure in the belief that one
will not be unjustifiably blamed for things that are not one’s personal fault. For
instance, where task complexity or unpredictability is the main reason for failure,
the institutional response should not default to deviation. |
