8. Guiding principles of solAustralia: Drive to Learn – We are born with an innate, lifelong desire and ability to learn, and we need to leverage this for ourselves and others Learning is Social - People learn best from and with one another, and participation in learning communities is vital to our success, the more diverse the group, the greater the learning. Learning can be learned- Organizations and individuals must develop their respective capabilities to understand complex, interdependent issues; engage in reflective, generative conversation; and nurture personal and shared aspirations. Natural systemic interdependency (all things are linked) –organisations and us must evolve in greater harmony with each other and with the natural world. Sustainable high performance is learned – paying attention to who we are, how we are with each other and the world is the key to sustainable high performance
