I came across some good self check questioner to evaluate organization culture promotes/demotes learning.
This i got from different source ,not sure from where i picked this up.

| Learning Culture Self-Audit | |
| Pro-learning culture | Anti-learning culture |
| People at all levels ask questions and share stories about successes, failures, and what they have learned. | Managers share information on a need-to-know basis. People keep secrets and don’t describe how events really happened. |
| Everyone creates, keeps, and propagates stories of individuals who have improved their own processes. | Everyone believes they know what to do, and they proceed on this assumption. |
| People take at least some time to reflect on what has happened and what may happen. | Little time or attention is given to understanding lessons learned from projects. |
| People are treated as complex individuals. | People are treated like objects or resources without attention to their individuality. |
| Managers encourage continuous experimentation. | Employees proceed with work only when they feel certain of the outcome. |
| People are hired and promoted on the basis of their capacity for learning and adapting to new situations. | People are hired and promoted on the basis of their technical expertise as demonstrated by credentials. |
| Performance reviews include and pay attention to what people have learned. | Performance reviews focus almost exclusively on what people have done. |
| Senior managers participate in training programs designed for new or high-potential employees. | Senior managers appear only to “kick off” management training programs. |
| Senior managers are willing to explore their underlying values, assumptions, beliefs, and expectations. | Senior managers are defensive and unwilling to explore their underlying values, assumptions, beliefs, and expectations. |
| Conversations in management meetings constantly explore the values, assumptions, beliefs, and expectations underlying proposals and problems. | Conversations tend to move quickly to blaming and scapegoat with little attention to the process that led to a problem or how to avoid it in the future. |
| Customer feedback is solicited, actively examined, and included in the next operational or planning cycle. | Customer feedback is not solicited and is often ignored when it comes in over the transom. |
| Managers presume that energy comes in large part from learning and growing. | Managers presume that energy comes from “corporate success,” meaning profits and senior management bonuses. |
| Managers think about their learning quotient, that is, their interest in and capacity for learning new things, and the learning quotient of their employees. | Managers think that they know all they need to know and that their employees do not have the capacity to learn much. |
