I appreciate the wonderful diversity of application settings presented in this book. There are stories of business, of schools, of large organizations and smaller organizations leadership. While the roots of organizational learning are within the business world, my own projects over the past years have come increasingly within the civil society, governmental organizations, public education and business - and among partnerships across all these sectors. I think we can now say with no doubt that these basic tools and ideas are equally helpful in any type of organization.
The cases in this book also illustrate the diverse types of leadership that make this work real. There are stories of leadership from “the top” (a Chairman of the Board and a General Manager), of leadership from the “front line” (a high School Principal) and of leadership from within “Learning Organization Practice Teams.” This too is an important lesson: the leadership in initiating and sustaining real systemic change can come from many places. All too often people sit and wait, feeling, “We can’t do anything unless the boss leads.” But, bosses leading in isolation never produce deep and sustained changes. People salute the new “change program” but the intended changes never penetrate the day-to-day reality of work. For this, you need leadership at the front lines. You need leadership from internal “network leaders” who connect otherwise disconnected leaders in different parts of the organization. And, sooner or later, you need leadership from the top to shape an overall environment suited to ongoing
learning. In short, you need leadership from people in diverse positions of formal responsibility but with genuine commitment to what they can do, and to collaborating with others. The cases here provide beautiful illustrations of the healthy “leadership ecologies” that, in my experience, define genuine learning organizations.

Managers of enthusiastic, productive and effective individuals are those who offer them learning opportunities instead of teaching.
“Learning Organization” practices will open up new horizons for many workplaces with bored and tired employees.
I heartily suggest this book to leaders in education and business who want to manage their institutions with a scientific approach and to gain a competitive advantage in the market.
