title: Learning organizations need teachers: the leader's challenge.
abstract: Teaching is not a top-down phenomenon. Teaching occurs everywhere in the organization--vertically, horizontally, and diagonally. Leaders are valued for their ability to forge relationships with very diverse groups and individuals and build partnerships that are truly mutually beneficial for all. The best leaders have dirty shoulders because they are continually lifting others up.
