Shared Vision as Motivation |
|
| |
Senge writes about a shared vision which provides a common prize. This draws out the commitment of employees to make it become reality. He warns us that a shared vision cannot be imposed from the top, and that it must be positive in nature. By positive, he means that it cannot play on people's fears, but rather it must be built on their aspirations. Also, this shared vision must be difficult or even impossible to fully realize if it is to provide a long-term or permanent source of motivation. He warns us that any initiative which breeds fear, will reduce or eliminate management's opportunity to foster employee commitment.

Senge, Peter. The Fifth Discipline: The Art and Practice of the Learning Organization. Currency- Doubleday. New York. 1990.
Easily one of the most important business books ever written, The Fifth Discipline is full of important lessons and insights which transcend the corporate context. Highly readable, very engrossing and even more comprehensive, Dr. Senge's landmark book lays the foundation for what he calls a "learning organization". He introduces readers to the five organizational learning disciplines -- systems thinking, personal mastery, mental models, shared vision, and team learning.
