Description: The notion of the learning organization - popularized by management thinkers and extolled by leaders of today's most progressive companies - is finally made practical for modern managers in Working Wisdom. Robert Aubrey and Paul M. Cohen offer a unique blend of historical context and contemporary examples from such worldwide companies as Dun & Bradstreet, LifeScan, SpectraPhysics, and Raychem to demonstrate how the new role of manager as learning guide can help build the capacity for competitive advantage. The authors show managers how to use existing resources and the age-old skills of providing capable guidance to nurture personal experiences so that the learning organization becomes a reality.
