What truly separates exceptional organizations from the rest? It's not just about having the right processes or the best talent, it's about creating environments where learning flourishes at every level. Sabrina Malter, a seasoned business coach with over 25 years of experience in the pharmaceutical industry, joins us to explore how bringing learning to life transforms organizations from the inside out.
Sabrina shares the journey of her recently published book on building learning cultures, which evolved from a simple collection of workshop materials into a comprehensive guide filled with case studies and practical tools. She reveals the three essential foundations of organizational learning: developing an open, curious attitude; fostering psychological safety; and building practical learning capabilities through iterative cycles of hypothesis, action, and reflection.
What makes this conversation particularly valuable is the clear connection Sabrina draws between learning and organizational excellence. As she explains, "They are so closely connected that I would nearly say sometimes they are really the same." Excellence today requires different capabilities than excellence tomorrow, making continuous learning essential for sustainable success.
Through compelling case studies, Sabrina illustrates how organizations implement personalized learning approaches and grassroots initiatives that empower employees to take ownership of their development. She emphasizes the crucial role leaders play in modeling learning behaviors and creating environments where people feel encouraged to experiment and grow.
Whether you're looking to transform your organization's approach to learning or seeking to enhance your own learning capabilities, this episode offers actionable insights and a powerful reminder that the path to excellence unfolds through continuous learning. As Sabrina beautifully puts it, "As a learner, the way unfolds right under your feet."
