“Leading Organizational Learning holds a remarkable
wealth of insight into closing the gap between knowledge and
people. Every leader hoping to create or maintain a successful
organization should read this book!”
—Vijay Govindarajan, Earl C. Daum 1924 Professor of
International Business, and director, William F. Achtmeyer Center
for Global Leadership at the Tuck School of Business at
Dartmouth
“What is knowledge? How is it embedded in an organization?
What are knowledge workers? How can their best thinking be
leveraged and applied? These are the questions organizations are
(or should be!) struggling with today, and Leading
Organizational Learning provides a rich sourcebook for finding
answers. It’s filled with practical advice and excellent
examples of how the knowledge and learning can be unleashed, the
key to achieving organizational effectiveness today.”
—Sally Helgesen, author, The Web of Inclusion and
Thriving in 24/7
“Wasn’t it the sage Lao Tzu who once said,
‘Those who know do not tell: those who tell do not
know.’ The contributors to this book do know what we know,
and do know what we do not know. Knowing they know, they provide a
cornucopia of ideas about how to make knowledge management a
reality, not an academic exercise. I recommend this book highly to
anybody interested in creating ‘boundaryless’
knowledge-sharing organizations.”
—Manfred F.R. Kets de Vries, The Raoul de Vitry

Development, and director, INSEAD Global Leadership Center,

“Leading Organizational Learning presents an
awesome collection of superstar talent. Marshall Goldsmith, Howard
Morgan, and Sandy Ogg have recruited the best in the business to
share their experience and wisdom on the most critical issue in
improving organizations in the new economy — how to instantly
share new knowledge so that organizations can stay at the learning
edge. If you were to actually apply the lessons from the scores of
case studies in this book you would be guaranteed a return on your
investment that far exceeds anything you’re likely to read in
any other business book on the shelves today.”
—Jim Kouzes, coauthor, The Leadership Challenge and
Encouraging the Heart, and chairman emeritus, Tom Peters
