Peter Senge (2010) validates this point by stating, “Every educational practice is a system” (p.124). Authors H. Shaked & C. Schechter (2013), share the similar belief that systems thinking (ST) is an approach advocating thinking about any given issue as a whole, emphasizing the interrelationships between its components rather than the components themselves (p.271).

Theory of Change Management Peter Senge promotes the idea of a Learning Organization as a theory of change management in his book ‘The Fifth Discipline’. Senge (2006) encourages the “rethinking of corporate philosophy” and a commitment to individual learning to establish a learning organization. Individual learning, according to Senge (2006), does not guarantee a learning organization, but without it, learning organization is impossible. Individual learning, therefore, is key to the…

8). He defines five disciplines for learning organizations including building a shared vision, personal mastery, the use of mental models, the importance of shared mental models, and finally a commitment to systems approach (as cited in Walonick, 1993, p. 9). The systems theory is described by Senge as a way of thinking to understand that personal actions create the current reality leading to one’s ability to create a new reality for the future (as cited in Walonick, 1993, p. 3). Senge’s…

Learning organization encourages their employees to critical thinking, innovation, risk taking, and new ideas. A learning organization takes the employees contributions, it learns from past experiences and takes all the knowledge into the organization daily activities. The learning organization concept came from Peter Senge and its five main disciplines; systems thinking, personal mastery, mental models, shared vision, and team learning.

there eyewitness testimony? Where the documents written within living memory of the events? Do outside, unbiased, sources agree? Do the events relayed in the documents sound ridiculously untrue? And lastly, did the authors have anything to gain from lying? In this essay, I will go through these five criteria and prove that the Gospels are historically accurate. The first criterion to address is if there is eyewitness testimony. Bishop Papias, a man who lived during the apostolic era tells us the…

However, none of these men who spent time with Jesus chose to save their lives by denying their faith in Him. These men was showing zeal in the face of persecution (Jenkins, 2011). The martyr has let go of this world and embraced the new world that has been opened to him by the Lord, which is his final and eternal destiny (Kushiner, 2011). How did the death of the Peter a disciple of Jesus Christ reveal the missions and their methods and purposes of Christianity in the early church? As we look…

Introduction According to Warren & Bennis (2010), “The constancy of change that drives efforts to reinvent government bureaucracies, church hierarchies, and business practices call for audacious leaders who take a stand for what they believe in” (p.29). As a practicing Catholic, I have noticed that the Church is continuously challenged to redefine the role of the Church in our ever changing society under the leadership of Pope Francis. While it is relatively easy to appreciate the public…
