Today’s best managers know that their main responsibility is to help create organizations that will be successful today and tomorrow. A key way to make that happen is through organizational learning. An organization that learns is one in which everyone understands that we all need to continually develop new knowledge, skills, and abilities. Today’s best managers help remove obstacles that keep employees from learning, such as: set an example by taking courses yourself, communicate the importance of learning, provide opportunities for learning, help reduce anxieties about learning, and take courses with your employees.
