6. The Art & Practice of the Learning organization Peter Senge 1.Personal Mastery. Learning organizations must be fully committed to the development of each individual's personal mastery--each individual's capacity to create their life the way they truly want. 2.Mental Models. Our vision of current reality has everything to do with the this discipline--mental models--because what we really have in our lives is constructions, internal pictures that we continually use of interpret and make sense out of the world. 3.Building Shared Vision. The idea of building shared vision stresses that you never quite finish it--it's an ongoing process.

7. 4. Team Learning. Individual learning, no matter how wonderful it is or how great it makes us feel, if fundamentally irrelevant to organizations, because virtually all important decisions occur in groups. The learning unit of organizations are "teams," groups of people who need one another to act. 5. Systems Thinking. The last discipline, the one that ties them all together, is systems thinking.

32. H OW O RG. C REATES A S HARED V ISION To be considered 1/3 Shared vision begins with employees developing their personal visions Org. must determine its core value, core purpose, and envision the desired future by asking employees the following questions: a) What are guiding principles for how we operate and work together? b) Why do we exist? c) What do we want to create?

33. H OW O RG. C REATES A S HARED V ISION To be considered 2/3 The emerging shared vision must be consistent with the org’s core, purpose and value. Likewise, it must in some way reflect the individual visions upon which it was built. This is the crucial point of creating harmony and commitment. Once a shared vision is developed, it is important to set success indicators or benchmarks that mark progress toward realizing the vision. A vision requires sustenance. It will die without ongoing dialogue.

34. H OW O RG. C REATES A S HARED V ISION To be considered 3/3 Org. need to view itself as a community where people are bound to the org. by the promise of what they can contribute, not by what they can get. “ Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country” JFK, 1961 A servant leader is one who emphasizes service to others, a holistic approach to work, creating a sense of community, and shared decision-making. Robert Greenleaf in Servant Leadership Everyone in org. will need to develop patience, perspective, and perseverance as you embark on this journey. Developing shared vision is a change process, and like any change process, it will be harder to manage initially than it will be further in to the process.

35. R ELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN P URPOSE, V ISION, AND V ALUES Visions make the purpose (mission) more concrete and tangible Core values are necessary to help people with day-to-day decision making Purpose is abstract, vision is long term But core values must be translatable into concrete behaviors Prepared by James R. Burns

36. C OMMON R EASON W HY V ISIONS D IE Org. believes employees are committed to the vision when in fact they are only compliant During the process of SV, the diversity of personal visions, the diversity of personal visions creates the conflicting visions and polarization. (just a set of personal visions) The gap between the current reality and the vision is too wide Employees have not developed the ability to hold the visions in face of current reality.

37. C OMMON R EASON W HY V ISIONS D IE The immediacy of the day-to-day demands competes with the need for long planning. Employees may complain it takes too much time and/or feel unproductive. Org. believes that they are done – it does not see the visioning process as an on-going dialogue that maintains its sense of community. Note: Although creating a shared vision is a time- consuming process that often feels lacking in direction, it sets the stage for achieving the desired future. It is the foundation upon which all else will be constructed and without a solid foundation, future works will be shaky as best.
