A description and justification for your selection for this model over the other. The model the that was chose is the Kolb's Learning Cycle.

Answer 1

Carribean young managers largely face shortage of leadership skills, people management skills, negotiating and relationships management skills which creates this dilemma.

These skills and comoetencies can be thus developed based on Kolb Learning Cycle with following stages:

1. Cincrete learning - learner here reinterprets learning content and understands key takeways
2. Reflective learning - learner here understand key mistakes and reflects upon them to improvise
3. Abstract conceptualization - learner here forms new ideas and strategies and compares from previous ideas amd analyzes them
4. Active experimentation - learner here incorporates new ideas and vision and subsequently learns on the job from its implications.

This model is chosen over other because of its results and practicality where Adopting live interactive group based role plays, case studies, group discussion and group tasks help them understand quickly the way to improvide and implement new age skills.
