Leading Organizational Learning

The series of articles brought together in this book is an

Aladdin’s cave, and the editors have laid it out so that the most

valuable jewels are instantly accessible. If this helps us understand

better how knowledge and learning move through people and orga-

nizations, how we as leaders can create a path for knowledge, and

how we best apply that knowledge for organizational effectiveness,

we will probably improve utilization to a modest 40 percent, which

is a mere 100 percent improvement!

Unique and sustained competitive advantage, here I come.
