Why Leaders Don't Learn from Success.

Why Leaders Don't Learn from Success  is a great article by Francesca Gino and Gary P. Pisano from the Harvard Business Review Blog.  Though the article's main focus is on business leadership, the same message can be directed to our classrooms; especially with the "third implement" mentioned here - the failure-to-ask-why-syndrome.

I love the final remarks

"But with each success the team focused more on winning and less on learning, and it ended up analyzing little of the data it collected. As one team member commented, “You look at the data when you want to understand what’s going wrong. You do not look at the data because you want to understand why you’re performing well.” " - HBR

To add a disclaimer:  this article is not intended to present an idea or philosophy that generalizes learning, however it was intended on looking at learning at a different angle.
