Question 21

Scholtes, in The Leader's Handbook, argues that today lifelong learning and improvement for individuals, organizations, and communities are no longer optional. While people learn in somewhat different ways, everyone learns best when they engage seeing (visual), hearing (auditory), and doing (kinesthetic). Moreover, the learning that really matters is that learning that comes from acquiring information, interpreting it into theories, and then putting the theories into practice through application. Scholtes advocates using the approach to learning and working that Dr. Deming taught the Japanese, namely the PDSA method.

Explanation / Answer

Mental models which refer to setting aside old ways of thinking, personal mastery which refers to method everyone becomes self-aware and open to others, systems thinking which refers to the way everyone learns how the whole organization works, and shared vision which refers to the method everyone understands and agrees to a plan of action- these ingredients are well represented in my organization.

At present, everyone working in my organization is living a modern lifestyle. They have learned to balance their work-life and personal life.

They are open-minded and are accepting new changes in my organization. Many Human Resource training programs are arranged in my organization to meet this end. Our employees are open to many kinds of self-learning processes: they learn from the trainings, they earn from co-workers, they learn from their superiors, they learn things online as a way to find solutions to their problems at work places and at homes.

Our employees have learned to think in a systemic way: everyone in my organization looks at our organizational issues with a "systems approach."

Our employees also have a "shared vision" in order to achieve our organizational goals.

Special types of trainings, seminars, and workshops are organised in my organization to meet these requirments.

All these trainings, workshops, presentations and seminars that aim at developing our workforce surely facilitate and/or encourage our employees to embrace change.
