Hi Anne, I'm reading Quit now and I just commend that your storytelling is top-notch. The topic of quitting as a positive trait was always novel and useful, and you've added memorable to it.

I've two questions, both around any correlation between learning habits and quoting decisions.

1) Would you say single loop learning tends to contribute more toward status quo than quitting? If we opened ourselves to reflection, is it possible that we may decide more often to quit than to stick.

2) It is hard to get past defensive reasoning and question our assumptions when analyzing outcomes. That's the barrier, as I understand, between single and double loop learning. If so, is it plausible that a group is better placed at getting past this barrier than an individual. In the sense that it is easier to make group analysis (project retrospectives) fun by having someone moderate, but it is much harder for someone to decide to reflect upon a negative outcome on their own. I'm trying to explore if groups are at a learning advantage here.

Thank you!
