Tool: The Five Major Forms of Non-Formal Learning
A systematic introduction to non-formal leader development by explaining and evaluating it, comparing it with other types of learning, and guiding leaders into how to do it effectively.
Malcolm Webber
Whatever we do in formal and non-formal training should intentionally nurture the daily ongoing experience of informal learning. This is a big advantage of non-formal training: it more naturally weaves through daily life, both in its structure (brief) and content (practical). We can see Jesus doing this in the Gospels.
Dr. Webber's definition of non-formal leader development is as follows: "You are free to do whatever builds life and you are free to do only what works."
