LEARNIN
GThe result of learning is “Change in Behaviour” of a person.
Learning is a process through which a person acquires new Knowledge, Skill and Attitude.
Competency = Technology X Attitude X Skill X Knowledge
As the world becomes more interconnected and business becomes more complex and dynamic, work must become
more “Learningful” –
Capacity to learn at all level in an organization
Learningful:
In order for you to Learn and Succeed,
others must Learn and Succeed as well
Learning is a process
of enhancing learner’s
capacity,
individually and collectively,
to produce results
learners truly want to
produce
Problems can be solved only through “Collective Intelligence”
Features of Learning
• The building of capacity
for effective action, as
opposed to intellectual
understanding only
• This capacity builds over
considerable time
Learning – two levels
• At one level, all learning is judged by what the learner can do, the results they produce.
• On the deeper level, learning is about developing a capacity to reliably produce a certain quality of results.
Team Learning
Team learning is a process
of aligning and developing
the capacity of a team to
create the results its
members truly want.
• The fundamental characteristic of the relatively unaligned team is wasted energy
• Individuals may work extraordinarily hard, buy their effort do not efficiently translate to team effort.
• Individuals learn all the time and yet there is no organisational learning
Dimensions of Team Learning
• Need to think insightfully about complex issues
• Need for innovation and coordinated action
• There is the role of team members on other teams

Leader as teacher
• A great teacher is someone around whom others learn.
• Great teachers create space for learning and invite people into that space.
• By contrast, less masterful teachers focus on what they are teaching and how they are doing it.

Self Discipline

One best way - fail
• Inefficient – One best way has to fight against uniqueness – no individuality
• Demeaning – by providing all the answers, it prevents each individual from perfecting, and taking responsibility of her own style
• Kills learning - every time you make a rule you take away a choice and choice, with all of its illuminating repercussions, is the fuel for learning.
• I never stopped trying to become qualified for the job
• A career is a journey of constant and continous learning – Paul Polman, CEO, Unilever
Advantages of Learning
• Expanding the ability to produce the results we truly want in life
• To continually expand our awareness and understanding
• To see more and more of the interdependencies between actions and our reality
• To see more and more of our connectedness to the world around us
Learning involves
• New Understandings,
• New Behaviours,
• New “Thinking” and
• New “Doing”
“Beat the Odds Study” Report• Don’t even think about playing a blame game when
students are not learning.• Have the strength to look at the problem and take
responsibility
• Don’t think the solution is “out there”• If the students are not learning, the school needs to change
• No one is allowed to lag behind• If every student in every class is not learning, the school is
not doing its job
