Organizations and the people who work within them are inundated with information. And although good information is vital to organizational success, all of the best information in the world is useless if people cannot find it and use it when they need it. How do they determine what is important? How do they decide what needs attention? How do they keep track of all the knowledge they need to get their jobs done? Leading Organizational Learning shows readers how to locate, share, and use information more efficiently. It gives leaders the know-how to enhance organizational learning, developing and refining methods and practices that facilitate the flow of information into and within an organization. Leading Organizational Learning takes organizational learning beyond theory by bringing together a stellar list of innovators in leadership, applied technology, education, organizational learning, distribution, and knowledge management to address how such systems can work to serve the needs of any organization. Contributors such as Jon Katzenbach, Dave Ulrich, Larraine Segil, Jim Belasco, Elliot Masie, Beverly Kaye, Cal Wick, Meg Wheatley and Steve Kerr cover everything from continuity management, to electronic knowledge management, to the cultural forces that influence organizational learning. This is a best of the best collection from a global group of thought and industry leaders and will be an invaluable handbook for those leaders and managers who need to share information, learning, and knowledge to be successful.
