Example text

For the past fifteen years or longer, many of us have been struggling to understand what “learning organizations” are all about and how to make progress in moving organizations along this path. Out of these efforts, I believe, some insights are emerging to enhance our ability to think and act strategically. The purpose of this section is to share those ideas and to invite all of us, the growing community involved in doing this work, to help in testing and improving upon them. ” It might have been in sports, or the performing arts, or perhaps in our work.

Since the richness of this vision depends on conversations among people, the interrelationships of this “community of commitment” take on enormous strategic importance. We hope this Fieldbook will contribute to making the community stronger. The five disciplines THE CORE OF LEARNING ORGANIZATION WORK IS BASED UPON FIVE “learning disciplines”—lifelong programs of study and practice: Personal Mastery—learning to expand our personal capacity to create the results we most desire, and creating an organizational environment which encourages all its members to develop themselves toward the goals and purposes they choose.

Eventually, the initiative is treated with respect: the “enemy outside” begins to espouse all the same goals, objectives, and ideals as those instigating the change.

But in times of “respect,” it becomes more important than ever to think and act strategically.
