The Learning Organization by Bob Garratt
Practical and provocative, this book by one of the world’s experts in management education offers a fresh perspective on the way organizations work. Bob Garratt proposes a theory of organizations as ‘learning systems’ in which success depends on the ability of managers to become ‘direction-givers’ and on the organization’s capacity for learning continuously. As well as considering the work of other business thinkers, Garratt employs a wide range of experimental models and graphic illustrations to demonstrate both the stagnation which results from the absence of these skills, and the dramatic effects of their positive implementation. Fully revised and with a new introduction, The Learning Organization is a seminal work – exciting, informative and a challenge to all directors, management educators and the business community at large.
