I listened to the summary of the book.
Education and continuous development are definitively important but the book did not provide any new information to me

This book is well organized and offers valuable advice on how to shape your organization into one that champions learning. Through strong leadership that promotes learning and improving ones work skills and industry knowledge, employees are more apt to remain at the organization.
We live in a society where people change jobs quite frequently, looking for meaning in their work. Most leave their jobs due to poor leadership and the lack of career opportunities that not only enhance their skills and knowledge but also gives them a sense of accomplishment and contribution.
The author highlights the key characteristics that successful organizations have in common:
-They have a flexible business model.
-They have a strong leadership team that are themselves, learners.
-They have sufficient resources (not always easy for non-profits who are spread thin, but doable with creative thinking).
-They have a clear understanding of their market.
-They have a clear focus on what drives profitability (for non-profits - service delivery and client satisfaction).
-They are ultimately, learning organizations, allowing them to remain competitive and adaptable to the changing dynamics of the global economy.
A great read for those working in HR and L&D, including leadership, who are keen to transform their organizations to retain talent and build on that talent.
