Action learning
sets‘Every week there was a seminar, and to speak
at it one had to confirm that one's researches were not going as
hoped; one became skilled in describing one's very ignorance and,
more than that, in trading it with others equally ready to confess
their own. Over the next half-century, I have tried to practice what
the Cavendish taught me; to trade my confusion with that of others,
seeking to interpret my own doubt by keeping away from experts with
prefabricated answers and questions they do not
understand.'
