all the work has problems. That is why the average life span of large industrial company is 40 years old. Some disabilities where companies are not willing to learn from their mistakes to learn. They insist on doing the same thing every time. Even when problems occur no one examines the cause of the problem. The problem lies in the embarrassment that should be swept under the rug and forgotten rather than use it as an opportunity to learn. Dealing with these dilemmas and obstacles is the management team. The following is a quote from the book by Peter Senge in "The Fifth Discipline - the art and practice of the learning organization." Does this sound like your company? If you do not start worrying!
legend management team
stands forward to do battle with these dilemmas and obstacles are "the management team," a group of savvy and experienced managers who represent different functions and areas of the organization experience. Together, they are supposed to sort the multiple functions that are critical of the organization of complex issues. What confidence we have, really, that typical management teams can overcome these learning disabilities?
often, teams in business tend to spend their time fighting for turf, avoiding anything that would make them look bad personally, and pretending that everyone is behind the collective strategy for the team - to maintain the appearance of a cohesive team. To maintain the image, and it is seeking to crush the dispute. People with serious avoid stating them publicly reservations, and joint decisions and compromises diluted reflecting what everyone can live with, and reflect only the opinion of one person foisted on the group. If there is disagreement, it is usually expressed in a way that puts the blame, and attracts opinion, the failure to detect the underlying differences in assumptions and experience in a way that the team as a whole can learn.
"Most management teams crumble under pressure," wrote Chris Argyris Harvard - called for a long period of learning in management teams. "The team has worked well with routine issues. But when faced with the complex issues that may be embarrassing or threatening, and" teamness "seems to go to pot."
Argyris says that most managers find collective inquiry inherently threatening. School never trained us to recognize that we do not know the answer, and most corporations reinforce that lesson by rewarding the people who excel in advocating their views, not the investigation of complex issues. (When was the last time the reward anyone in your organization to raise tough questions about the company's current policies rather than solving urgent problems?) Even if we feel uncertain or ignorant, and we know that we protect ourselves from the pain of uncertain appearing or ignorant. That prevents the very process out any new understandings might threaten us. The result is what he calls Argyris "lack of skilled efficiency" - full teams of people who know how incredibly in preserving themselves from learning.
So how do you stack your company? If your company is what he describes Singh as a "learning organization" and then there is no need to protect your turf, no need to accept compromise, no need for management to know everything. In learning and knowledge organization that employees may use every member of the management team there to support the other. They realize that everyone wins if the team well and also know that failure is just another expression of the opportunity to learn.
do not you like to work in an organization where your opinion counts, and where you can make a difference in the success of the companies? Where you do not have to pretend to be busy, or pretend to know everything. So how do you create a learning organization? It starts by creating individual learning in teams and then cascade to learning learning organization.
and through the members of the team effective facilitator process of learning to work collaboratively, and learn from their mistakes and continually challenge their assumptions about reality. Above all work together as a team to solve problems and improve results.
educational organization is not possible!
