Learning organizations are organizations where people continually expand their capacity to create the results they truly desire, where new and expansive patterns of thinking are nurtured, where collective aspiration is set free, and where people are continually learning how to learn together.
In essence, leaders are people who ‘walk ahead,” people genuinely committed to deep change, in themselves and in their organizations.
- Peter Senge
