High levels of self-awareness enable managers to be impactful, as they are aware of their behaviors, are able to focus on their motivations, and know how to leverage social and emotional resources to implement action plans. Unleashing every aspect of individual potential will result in more capacity for initiative and innovation, confidence, serenity, and better management of personal energy, and will lead to collective resilience and agility. The authors draw on a case study of an airline to highlight how, in a context of unprecedented crisis, self-leadership leverages resources at the individual level and then creates collective loops of agility and resilience.

These networks support cross-fertilization through the interactive confrontation of the learner to his several stakeholders among dimensions of teaching, exploring, implementing and coaching. Through two case studies led under the methodology of action research, this paper will show how collective learning as well as a more focused individual development can take place if the stakeholders are also put into a learning process organized in DLN. Showing how new technologies can support this will conclude this paper.

This paper offers a model for redefining responsibilities in knowledge sharing within the network of players to help them to learn and anticipate.

We therefore have been confronted with the weaknesses of the currently predominant conceptual approaches in the organizational learning literature. In this paper, we will analyze more in depth one central feature of organizational life, which has largely been overlooked in the different approaches to learning, namely the role of power. Having identified the consequences of this omission in a previous paper, we will go back, in this paper, to the authors who have addressed issues of power in organizations. We will draw the main implications of their theoretical contributions for the learning in and of organizations. Our ultimate objective is to integrate the insights of these authors into a conceptual framework, which adequately conceptualizes power and by doing so is capable of inspiring a strategic approach to organizational change trough learning.
