A learning culture creates the conditions in which managers

A) encourage experimentation.
B) ensure rigidity.
C) help sustain the status quo.
D) encourage groupthink.
E) demonstrate a high degree of risk aversion.

A learning culture encourages experimentation and risk-taking, which is essential for innovation and growth within an organization. Encouraging experimentation allows managers to try new approaches, learn from their mistakes, and continuously improve their processes. Rigidity, sustaining the status quo, groupthink, and a high degree of risk aversion are all antithetical to a learning culture.
