A
PRESENTATION
FOR
ALL
WHO WANT TO LEARN……
THE FIFTH DISCIPLINE…
LEARNING ORGANISATIONS
ARE POSSIBLE BECAUSE WE
ALL ARE LEARNERS.
THE MORE WE LEARN THE
MORE WE ACUTELY BECOME
AWARE OF OUR IGNORANCE.
WHEN WE FOCUS
ONLY ON OUR
POSITION WE
HAVE LITTLE
SENSE OF
RESPONSIBILITY
FOR THE RESULTS
PRODUCED WHEN
ALL POSITIONS
INTERACTS.
THE ENEMY IS OUT THERE…
IT IS A BY- PRODUCT
OF “I AM MY POSITION”.
THER IS IN EACH OF
US A PROPENSITY TO
FIND SOMEONE OR
SOMETHING OUTSIDE
OURSELVES TO
BLAME WHEN THINGS
GO WRONG.
BEING PROACTIVE…
TOO OFTEN
PROACTIVENESS IS
REACTIVENESS IN
DISGUISE.
TRUE
PROACTIVENESS
COMES FROM
SEEING FROM HOW
WE CONTRIBUTE TO
OUR OWN
PROBLEMS.
FIXATION ON EVENTS…
OUR CONVERSATION IN
ORGANISATION IS DOMINATED
BY EVENTS. FOCUSSING
ON EVENTS LEADS TO EVENT
EXPLANATIONS.
LEARNING CAN NOT
TAKE PLACE IF PEOPLE’S
THINKING IS DOMINATED
BY SHORT TERM EVENTS.
THE SUDDEN AND GRADUAL CHANGES…
WE LEARN BEST
FROM EXPERIENCE
BUT WE NEVER
DIRECTLY
EXPERIENCE THE
CONSEQUENCES
OF MANY OF OUR
MOST IMPORTANT
DECISIONS.
MANAGEMENT TEAM…
THE TEAM
PRETENDS
THAT EVERY
ONE IS BEHIND
THE TEAM’S
COLLECTIVE
STRATEGY.
WHAT IS SYSTEMS THINKING…
IN MASTERING SYSTEMS
THINKING WE GIVE UP THE
ASSUMPTION THAT THERE
MUST BE AN INDIVIDUAL,
RESPONSIBLE… ;
EVERYONE SHARES
RESPONSIBILITY FOR
PROBLEMS GENERATED BY A
SYSTEM.
THE FIFTH DISCIPLINE
BUILDING THE
LEARNING
ORGANISATION
LEARNING
ORGANISATIONS…
ORGANISATIONS LEARNING
LEARN ONLY ORGANISATIONS
THROUGH
INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE NOT
LEARN. POSSIBLE
INDIVIDUAL UNLESS THEY
LEARNING DOES HAVE PEOPLE AT
NOT GUARANTEE
ORGANISATIONAL EVERY LEVEL
LEARNING WHO PRACTICE
BUT WITHOUT IT NO IT.
ORGANISATIONAL
LEARNING OCCURS.
THE FIFTH DISCIPLINE
PERSONAL MASTERY
CONTINUALLY FOCUSSING
ON ONE’S VISION,
HOLDING CREATIVE TENSION,
SEEING OUR
CONNECTEDNESS TO THE
WORLD.
COMMITMENT TO THE WHOLE
THE FIFTH DISCIPLINE
MENTAL MODELS…
UNALIGNED TEAM
ALIGNED TEAM
TEAM
TOGETHER EACH
ATTAINS MORE
TALENT OF ALL
EXCELLENCE OF SOME
ALIGNED FOR
MUTUAL QUEST
TEAMS
TEAMS && CONFLICT
CONFLICT
GREAT TEAMS ARE NOT
CHARACTERISED BY ABSENCE OF
CONFLICT.
FREE FLOW OF CONFLICTING IDEAS
IS CRITICAL FOR CREATIVE
THINKING.
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN GREAT
TEMS AND MODIOCRE TEAMS LIES
IN HOW THEY FACE CONFLICT AND
DEAL WITH DEFENSIVENESS THAT
INVARIABLY SURROUNDS CONFLICT
(DEFENSIVENESS ROUTINES)
WHY TEAMS FAIL…
IN A LEARNING ORGANISATIONS
LEADERS ARE DESIGNERS,STEWARDS
AND TEACHERS.
THEY TRY TO BUILD ORGANISATIONS
WHERE PEOPLE CONTINUALLY EXPAND
THEIR CAPABILITIESUNDERSTAND
COMPLEXITY,CLARIFY VISION AND
IMPROVE SHARED MENTAL MODELS.
