Towards a Learning Organization. Effect of Leadership Approach and Leaders' Consciousness on the Learning Organization

      Аннотация: To prepare children as future leaders of our society who may lead mankind to a sustainable, peaceful and global community we need to impart them with schooling in true sense where they can learn to ‘learn and live together’. Such an education does not focus on cramming of facts but on learning in a constructive manner. School is a very crucial place for imparting education and enhancing the learning among students. Therefore, “in order to have a positive impact on students’ learning the schools must develop as learning organizations and provide opportunities for teachers to learn and develop”. Since leaders have to face the rapidly emerging challenges of present times, they need to be aware of and use multiple facets of their personality in order to lead their organizations effectively. Hence, the current research saw into the effect of leadership approach and consciousness of leaders on the learning organization. The book provides a deeper insight into the theory of learning organization with the help of a Mixed Methods Approach (mixed methods sequential explanatory design), involving the Quantitative and Qualitative Multi-Phased Study based on the Pragmatic Research Worldview.
