Chances are that you re not often called upon to execute a 360° tumbleturn while water skiing barefoot at work. But your everyday challenges may seem just as daunting if you are stuck in a "knower's" stance.  In this fresh, accessible new book, seasoned organizational development practitioner Brian Hinken draws on the lessons from his own story of self-discovery - including his encounter with the elusive tumbleturn - to offer a rich collection of disciplines, frameworks, tools, and methods for overcoming the "secrets of a knower". With disarming humility, the author provides a practical map for moving from awareness to action, empowering us to be learners more focused on increasing our ability to produce desired results, than on protecting our reputation for knowing.  Whether you re exploring your personal learning habits or seeking to develop a learning culture more broadly, this book will ease your journey.

Toward Learning Organizations
Integrating Total Quality Control and Systems Thinking

Total Quality Control and systems thinking have complementary strengths that can greatly enhance an organization's ability to improve its performance. How? Through a more balanced learning process. As Daniel Kim explains in this volume, the integration of TQC and systems thinking provides the synergistic boost that can help your company assert its competitiveness. This integration also shows you how to build the foundation for a new kind of organization-a learning organization, where front-line people work in self-managed groups, managers develop their research skills and take on the role of theory-builders, and leaders become more like philosophers who inspire the human spirit. At the core of any learning organization lie learning systems and processes firmly rooted in the two disciplines of TQC and systems thinking. Read this volume to see how, together, these disciplines provide a powerful method for change.

Management & Leadership

Does your organization make the same mistakes over and over again, without being able to get a grip on the cause? If so, a systems archetype might be at work behind the scenes! The archetypes depict the recurring "stories" that often indicate imbalance in a system. Working with these tools can help individuals and teams surface their mental models, communicate the "story," and engage in creative dialogue about the entire system. Written by top authors in the field, this workbook brings you the latest thinking about the archetypes--and provides plenty of practice using them. Familiarize yourself with eight classic archetypes, such as "Fixes That Fail" and "Limits to Success," by working step-by-step through vivid examples, illustrations, and exercises. Additional activities, potential responses, a handy "archetypes at a glance" chart, and a glossary of terms complete your learning experience. Ideal for self-study or group practice, Systems Archetype Basics will give you the confidence and skill to start putting your knowledge to work.
