Replying to LO25978 --
Charles,
I chuckle at your posting. I worked for a hospital system once that was
going through massive TQM training (a total waste of time and money as it
turned out). Anyway, the leadership was required to read Senge's Fifth
Discipline. Immediately, the Administrator started greeting all new
employees by telling them that "we are a learning organization." He had
no idea what that meant and we were the furthest thing FROM a learning
org. you will ever find.
My assumption is that many leaders view their orgs that way but truly have
no idea what it means. Most of them couldn't even plow through the Fifth
Discipline. I actually had to do a cliff notes version for my leaders.
Oh well. Good luck.
Nancy
