I dont agree. IMO you move up or down depending on the
environment/circumstances and personal factors. I think McClelands work
suggested that training could help change motivational patterns. Assuming
conditions are present in the environment to nurture the pattern.
In a learning organisation, the disciplines of Personal Mastery and shared
vision assumes self actualised individuals or an environment that nurtures
self actualisation? If not, can a learning organisation take shape. If
the assumption is that there is no movement in motivational patterns, is
learning organisation exclusive to some?
