Chris Argyris was an influential American organizational theorist known for his work on organizational learning and development. He introduced concepts like "double-loop learning," which encourages organizations to question their underlying assumptions and policies instead of merely addressing surface-level issues. Argyris believed that effective learning within organizations leads to improved performance and adaptability. His work emphasized the importance of open communication and the alignment of individual and organizational goals, advocating for an environment where employees feel empowered to contribute and innovate. His insights have significantly shaped modern management practices and organizational behavior studies.
