Organizational learning is a fundamental strategic process, the main instrument through which organizational strategies are updated; it is also an advantage that facilitates an organization’s “business continuity management” (BCM). An organization needs to learn to depend on effective leadership and the leaders need to actively participate in organizational learning and setting an example of being open, able to take risks, and able to manifest the necessity of learning. The degree of support from organizational leaders for and their involvement in the culture and activity of organizational learning is crucial to the enhancement of organizational performance.
