Abstract

How can a leader accelerate evolution? How can one create radical change that enables people to solve problems, seize opportunities and apply theoretical principles to real‐time situations? By creating a culture of learning. Learning can take place in hours, and like a vine can twist and turn to unexpected heights with little maintenance, unlike adaptation through restructuring and creating alliances or facilities, which can take years and requires a higher degree of vigilance and reinforcement.
