In a learning organization, its critical for members to share information and collaborate on work activities throughout the entire organization——across different functional specialties and even at different organizational levels. Employees are free to work together and collaborate in completing the organizations work the best way they can, and in the process, learn from each other. This need to collaborate also tends to make teams an important feature of a learning organization. Employees work on activities in teams and make decisions about doing their work or resolving issues. Empowered employees and teams have little need for “bosses” to direct and control them. Instead, traditional managers serve as facilitators, supporters, and advocates for employee teams.
