• he  five that Peter Senge identifies are said to be converging to innovate learning  organizations. They are:

   

   

  Systems thinking

   

  Personal mastery

   

  Mental models

   

  Building shared vision

   

  Team learning
• Peter Senge advocates the use of ‘systems maps’ – diagrams that show the key  elements of systems and how they connect.
• The practice of shared vision involves the skills of  unearthing shared ‘pictures of the future’ that foster genuine commitment and  enrolment rather than compliance.
• In a learning organization, leaders are designers,  stewards and teachers. They are responsible for building organizations were people continually expand their capabilities to understand complexity,  clarify vision, and improve shared mental models – that is they are responsible  for learning…. Learning organizations will remain a ‘good idea’… until people  take a stand for building such organizations. Taking this stand is the first  leadership act, the start of inspiring (literally ‘to breathe life into’) the vision of the learning organization.
