Through learning we re-create ourselves.

Senge, P. M. (2007). ";Give me a lever long enough......and single handed I can move the world". In Jossey-Bass reader on educational leadership (2nd ed.) (pp3-15). San Francisco, California: John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

This article spoke about learning organisations and how to build them.

1. Systems thinking
2. Personal mastery - this is the discipline of continually clarifying and deepening our personal vision, of focusing our energies, of developing patience, and of seeing reality objectively.
3. Mental models
4. Building shared vision- when there is genuine shared vision people excel and learn, not because they are told to, but because they want to.
5. Team learning - This is vital because teams are the fundamental learning unit in modern organisations. Unless the teams can learn, the organisation cannot learn.

He goes on to state that it is important that the five disciplines develop as an ensemble.

A learning organisation is a place where people are continually discovering how they create their reality. And how they can change it.
