Abstract
PurposeThe organizational behavior and management literature has devoted a lot attention to processes and technology in organizational learning.

The purpose of this paper is to highlight the importance of shared vision as a development tool to build an organizational learning capability.Design/methodology/approachThe existing shared vision and organizational learning literature was reviewed, and the salient points on how shared vision promotes organizational learning discussed.Practical implicationsThe paper offers a view on how leaders can use shared vision to develop organizational learning capability. Practicing managers would then be able to help promote organizational learning with the shared vision as a guide on what to learn from the internal and external environment.Originality/valueThis paper contributes to the existing organizational learning and leadership literature by introducing the idea of shared vision promoting organizational learning.Keywords
