Bringing together 32 essays written by 39 highly respected organizational leaders and scholars, this volume provides a wide range of perspectives on how workplace cultures both cultivate and inhibit organizational learning and development.

Lead authors include Harvard's Rosabeth Moss Kanter, London Business School's Professor Emeritus Charles Handy, and MlT's Fred Kofman and Peter Senge. The essays in this collection are organized in four sections: Guiding Ideas, Theories/Methods/Processes, Infrastructure, and Arenas of Practice.
