Quick comment. Sometimes I wonder whether something like situational
leadership applies here, and trying to be realistic. I wonder if a more
directive, guiding function may be necessary for some stages of developing
an early learning org, despite the fact it is contradictory or
paradoxical.
I think that information control and gating is a problem for learning orgs
at ANY time. I think some wee bits of more authoritative structures might
work in the early stages of getting aimed.
