As a leader, you must foster an open mindset coupled with an independent quest for knowledge

     Leaders MUST create organizational effectiveness founded in learning hinged upon an organizational purpose, principles, mission, and vision that influence individuals to continuously increase knowledge, competence, and performance. As a leader, you must foster an open mindset coupled with an independent quest for knowledge. A learning culture goes far beyond the workshops and training programs hosted by the learning team but the real culture of learning lives in the beliefs and attitudes of its people who bring their mindset, current skills, and behaviors.  Another critical component for building a positive culture of shared knowledge is the role of leaders. This is because the real, daily experiences of any organization live in the environment that leaders create for the employees to experience.  Effective leaders help employees to be their best while making individuals feel great about coming to work. It really comes down to whether the leader is creating a positive sharing culture through their daily words and actions.   Benefits of a culture of shared knowledge:

• increased employee performance and productivity in achieving business outcomes
• enhanced ability to compete for and retain top talent
• enhanced ability to effectively adapt to change
• better customer satisfaction as well as responsiveness to customer needs
