Thank you for an enlightening post. It's like having x-ray vision into the
inner workings of "the system". :) I'll find these books.....

That's the stated selling point, but is that the unstated model in
operation? Do learning-org practitioners have to make a choice between
developing share holder equity or developing company employee's (the CEO
included)? Wouldn't it be great if things could be made win-win so that
the shareholder's (institutional investors - banks, pension funds, etc.)
AND the company employee's got more out of their respective agreements
than they expected?

Maybe this is wishful thinking.....
