- W221737997 abstract "INTRODUCTION Around the world, many corporate firms and public agencies are using action learning (AL) as core elements of their management and executive development programs. In order to enhance governmental and individual capacities, government agencies can recruit and hire highly skilled, qualified workers from the labor market. Alternatively, they can invest in their current workers. Since many governmental agencies continue to face difficulties in competing for the best-qualified workers, we argue that they should systematically invest more in developing the leadership capacity of the existing workforce. Perhaps the best known and oldest of all AL-based leadership programs is that of General Electric (GE). Prior to 1986, GE's leadership programs consisted primarily of lectures, case studies, computer simulations and outdoor activities. The curriculum included modules on leadership, teamwork skills, global competition, and business strategy. But this program was not effective in developing the new type of leaders that GE needed. Therefore, GE decided to move from a model that was based on individual cognitive learning to one that was based on AL dealing with real problems, real team challenges, and real risks. Today, GE leadership programs have four key goals, each of which can achieved through AL: (1) enable participants to learn, and receive feedback on, business concepts and skills applied to real business issues; (2) provide training on issues important to business; (3) help participants develop leadership and team skills essential to leading and working on high-performing, multifunctional business teams; and (4) assist participants in developing personal action plans for applying new business and leadership skills in their work settings (KIPA, 2005a). Background on the South Korean Experience When President Roh Moo-Hyun took office on February 25, 2003 he initiated a broad range of public sector reforms. One such initiative began in 2004 when the Civil Service Commission (in the Office of the Senior Secretary to the President of Personnel Affairs) created a task force for training innovation. This task force visited American training institutions such as the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM), the Federal Executive Institute (FEI) and GE's Welch Leadership Development Center. Following these visits, action learning (AL) was introduced at the Korean Central Officials' Training Institute (COTI) in late 2004. CASE STUDY OF THE KOREAN EXPERIENCE As part of civil service reform, the Roh Moo-Hyun administration (2003-2008) established the Senior Civil Service (SCS) on July 1, 2006 to enhance the performance of higher-level civil servants. At the same time, the Civil Service Commission of Korea established an SCS Candidate Development Program to develop the leadership capacity of candidates for the senior civil service. In addition, a training program to develop the leadership capacity of incumbent director-general level civil servants was also redesigned. This was called the Senior Executive Program. The AL method of leadership development was introduced into both SCS Candidate Development and Senior Executive Programs in late 2004. The Senior Civil Service Before the reform, the public personnel system of Korea was based on a rank-in-person system for more than 50 years. In the wake of the Korean financial crisis in the late 1990s, the public strongly pushed the government to reform itself. Along with a wave of public sector reform around the world, the Korean government initiated various reform measures. One reform created a Senior Civil Service (SCS). In the SCS pool, rank was abolished and the performance of senior executives was carefully evaluated. The goal of the SCS was to enhance the performance and competence of senior executives and raise their status (CSC, 2006b, p. 4). In 2006, the SCS consisted of about 1,700 national civil servants in General, Special, Contract, and Foreign Services as well as those who were on mobility assignment. …" @default.
