The focus of the fifth episode in the Leaders in Learning series is one of the most challenging questions that we routinely face: What is the role of formal and informal leadership in creating a learning organization? This episode builds on previous episodes in connecting components of leadership and effective learning organizations, a key connection that we see consistently.

The contributing thought leaders for this episode are:
- Thom Sinclair, Gateway Academy Team Lead at the Consultative Group to Address the Poor (CGAP) housed at the World Bank
- Rob Cartridge, Head of Global Knowledge at Practical Action
- Chris Collison, a leading independent KM and OL consultant
