Abstract: Leadership always had a major impact on the economic success of a corporation. In particular, leaders play a key role in facilitating and fostering the process of innovation and organisational learning. This article examines how leadership influences organisational learning. Based on a conceptual framework and an empirical study, ten propositions will be developed about specific elements that support organisational learning. The study covers opinions from 125 leaders in various companies, industries and geographic regions, with a strong focus on large enterprises of the high-tech industry. Feedback shows that leadership in learning organisations goes far beyond traditional leadership: individual leadership, organisational leadership and incentives are the key dimensions.

Keywords: organisational learning; individual leadership; organisational leadership; incentives; knowledge management; innovation. (search for similar items in EconPapers)
