John Woods comments on the "bottom" part of Maslow's hierarchy, and the
need to address survival needs in order to move up the hierarchy.

I have recently begun to wonder if one can address survival by focusing on
survival. In our current situation, it may require that we focus on the
"top" of the hierarchy in order to accomplish survival.

Is this not the heart of the matter in creating learning organizations?
We focus on learning in order to survive (and more).
