An invaluable hands-on guide to developing the knowledge and capabilities of every person in an organization
The concept of the learning organization has been a major theme in corporate America ever since Peter Senge's 1990 classic The Fifth Discipline. Yet, surprisingly, until now, there were no books showing managers how to translate Senge's theories into everyday reality. The first nuts-and-bolts guide to building a learning organization, Transformational Learning supplies readers with practical step-by-step guidance to put learning organization concepts into daily practice. Managers learn how to align their group's learning initiatives with long-range company goals, develop a renewable learning system, develop partnerships with key leaders throughout the organization, and much more.
