Leadership and "The Learning
Organization"
The term "learning organization” describes an organization
with an ideal learning environment, perfectly in tune with the organization's
goals. Such an organization is a place "where people continually expand
their capacity to create the results they truly desire, where new and expansive
patterns of thinking are nurtured, where collective aspiration is set free, and
where people are continually learning to see the whole (reality)
together." (Senge 1992)
What are the five disciplines
of learning organizations?
1. Building a Shared vision
In learning organizations, the vision should be created through
interaction with the employees in the enterprise. Many leaders have personal
visions that lack transferring them to a shared vision. The only way to create
a shared vision is by compromising the organization’s and individual’s visions.
People who do not share the same vision might not contribute as much to the organization.
2. Systems
Thinking
Instead of focusing on individual issues, systems thinking
reflects the observational process of an entire system. Managers have to
understand that every action and consequence is correlated with another.
3. Mental
Models
The employees must identify the values of the company and what
the business is all about. A correct understanding of who we are will enable us
to visualize where to go and how to develop further. The organization has to be
flexible in accepting changes to new mental models and a new image of the
company.
4. Team
Learning
To accomplish excellent functional team dynamics, team-learning
is a primary importance. It is the discipline by which personal mastery and
shared vision are brought together.
Personal
mastery occurs when an individual has a clear vision of a goal, combined with
an accurate perception of reality. The gap between the vision and reality
drives the employee to practice all necessary related activities to realize the
vision. This creative tension depends on a clear understanding of current
reality. For this reason, for personal mastery and the related discipline of a
shared vision, looking at, and sharing the truth is a crucial fundamental.
CONCLUSION
A learning organization is the term given to an organization which facilitates the learning of its employees so that the organization can continuously transforms itself. Learning organization develops as a result of the pressures which are being faced by the organizations these days for enabling them to remain competitive in the present day business environment.

DeleteA learning organization encourages personal mastery and cultivates open feedback to see problems and opportunities on all levels. Some argue that learning organizations attract and retain more talents. Others say that there is a competitive advantage for an organization whose people learn faster than the people of other organizations.

ReplyDeleteFive Learning approach have been discussed in the Blog with good literature accepted in the writings noted. A collaboration of learning to organizational development has been effected and that has made this writing a very debateful and encouraging. As for learning organization many students are discused in Learning cycke and this effort is commendable
ReplyDeleteYou have brought the Senge, (1990)'s five disciplines to the discussion & building up an learning organization can be easily defined by using the theory. Since all these five disciplines are interlinked, the utilization of these will be challenging to an organization. However, organizations will gain competitive advantages even if they focus more narrowly on one or few disciplines.
