چکیده (انگلیسی):

The relationship of human development to leadership growth and organizational learning is
becoming more significant as organizations recognize the value of skilled leadership. In order to
foster collective intelligence and innovation in groups, leadership throughout an organization
benefits from the understanding of processes involved in collectives or groups. The idea of
creating a learning organization is gaining more attention as organizations strive to adapt and
respond to a changing global environment in fast paced and demanding arenas. It is now
becoming a needed skill to build a learning organization as a leadership competency. Those
organizations that place learning as a priority will have an advantage over those that fail to learn
and adapt. In order to understand how adult development is connected to organizational learning
the work of Kegan (1982), Argyris (1992) and Senge (1990) will be examined. In addition the
concept of dialogue, for learning, and creating culture will be explored in order to gain insight for
developing leadership in organizational learning, Schein (2004); Isaacs (1996). Because of the
growing complexity of the global environment, developing leadership in the organization is
becoming more sophisticated in the ways in which learning is approached and orchestrated and
therefore a greater understanding of leadership development is needed.
