People get to accessinformation related to an% su$0ect or aspect of learning for selfdevelopment. Seminars and &onferencespart from gaining relevant information and 4nowledge* this method ofself managed learning allows for personal interaction and e5changing ofviews and e5periences with others.

do not simultaneousl% agree on the same decision or conclusion. Some people prefer not to wor4 in groups and are $est left to wor4

alone therefore wor4ing in groups will reduce their contri$ution to the$etterment of the organi8ation.
