I certainly do not disagree that such is practical performance of a
person, otherwise there would be great stress in the individual or perhaps
even catatonic disfunction from mental overload. OTOH, is the lapse from
learning in many areas during C/C behaviour an acceptable pattern for an
LO? If so, then my organization will outperform when it displays C/C
behaviour in many areas of competency.
Can we define an LO as one that continually evolves to C/C behaviour in a
growing number of competencies? Perhaps using the competencies that Senge
highlights?
Without getting down to such specifics, we run the risk of a continuing
mental masturbation and feel-good discussions, and no emergence of new
competencies even on the LO discussion group! For the fun of it...Keith
