Commitment and Capacity to Learn
Not what you're looking for?
As your company grows and faces increasingly complex challenges, you may be finding that the original strategy you created is changing. You are also changing and growing to meet these new challenges. Senge (2007) tells us "The organizations that will excel in the future will be those that can tap the commitment and capacity to learn of people at all levels within them" (para 5).
