Leading a Learning Organization discusses how learning is important for leaders and organizations. It explains that organizational learning involves obtaining and applying new knowledge, tools, and values as an organization changes over time. There are two types of organizational learning - maintenance learning which acquires fixed processes, and innovative learning which prepares for new situations and change. Effective leadership in a learning organization creates creative tensions by understanding where the organization is and where it needs to go.
