keep getting better.
A dynamic organization learns from everyday work. It makes problems visible, responds to their causes and shares what it learns, so it can adapt when the world changes.
Leaders create the conditions for this to happen: a clear purpose, the capability to improve and the confidence for people to act. Improvement becomes part of how the organization works.
