'Productive Reflection at Work is a major addition to the literature on reflection at work. The focus of the book is on the idea that reflection is what connects learning and work. The Editors emphasize the importance of reflecting together in the workplace, and they highlight the learning that can occur when productivity and interpersonal engagement are explicitly linked. The book provides the foundations for future thinking about the organization of reflection, and especially helps to transform the current over-emphasis on individuals' ability to reflect with clear and comprehensive arguments for collective reflection. This book is essential reading for all scholars and practitioners with an interest in learning and work. It moves across disciplines, drawing together a fascinating and important compilation of views on collective and organizational reflection. David Boud, Peter Cressey and Peter Docherty are leading the development of a new idea - productive reflection - and they have generated a collection of chapters to demonstrate its importance and value. This volume is a significant and welcome contribution to our understanding of how reflection can be embedded into work organizations.' - Russ Vince, Professor of Organizational Behaviour and HRM, the University of Hull, UK
