Predictive Services Discussion: A breezy, dry westerly flow will continue across the northwestern portion of

the CONUS as the previous days’ cold front moves east toward the Great Lakes by afternoon, producing

scattered storms over Minnesota. A weak trough of low pressure will remain located along the Californian

Coast, but should remain mostly dry and will produce a weak off shore flow. The monsoonal flow over the

southwest will be weaker than previous days, but still present over New Mexico and Colorado. Scattered

showers and storms will remain possible along a stalled frontal boundary that remains in place across the

Southeast. The Northeast will remain warm and dry under a weak ridge of high pressure.

Developing a Learning Organization Leadership Category

Leaders evaluate performance at all levels to understand the causal factors of successes and failures. All those

involved learn incrementally, applying today’s lessons to the next assignment. This focus on continuous

improvement brings with it a responsibility to share lessons learned throughout the organization.

In a learning organization, leaders treat honest mistakes as opportunities to learn and do better next time.

Understanding that failure is a part of learning, they establish command climates in which followers are motivated by

desire to succeed rather than fear of failure. At the crew level, conducting regular After Action Reviews is one of

the most powerful tools a leader has for building effective and cohesive teams.

Discussion Points

Discuss the relationship between developing a learning organization and safety.

What happens when honest mistakes are punished rather than used as a learning opportunity?

How are mistakes and failure dealt with within your crew / organization?

What was your crew’s / organization’s most recent learning moment?
