Human Dynamics’ Links
to the “Five Disciplines” of Peter Senge

 The training programs of Human Dynamics International are endorsed by the Society of Organizational Learning, a network organization of researchers, consultants and practioners, founded by Peter Senge, of M.I.T.’s Sloane School of Management, to actively promote the development of “learning organizations.”

 Dr. Senge has approved the following brief formulations of the links of Human Dynamics training programs to each of the “five disciplines” that he describes as crucial for the evolution of learning organizations. *

1. Systems Thinking:

 Human Dynamics is a body of work that identifies fundamental distinctions in the functioning of people as whole systems. It also explores the interactions of these distinct human systems in the contexts of larger systems of operation, such as teams, families, organizations, classrooms, schools etc.

 It is our belief that since human beings create all other systems with the exception of nature
itself, and also comprise most of those systems (such as organizations), it should be common
wisdom that understanding the functioning of the human system is a fundamental requirement. Then the systems people create will be more whole, and will more appropriately reflect the needs and functioning of those they are intended to serve.


2. Personal Mastery:

 The passionate focus of Human Dynamics is upon not only personal mastery but inter-personal and transpersonal mastery also.

 In the first place, Human Dynamics constitutes a foundational body of knowledge upon which to base developmental endeavor. Secondly, Human Dynamics maps the specific developmental journey of each of the identified personality dynamics. And thirdly, it offers individual and collective tools for facilitating the progress of each personality dynamics toward personal, interpersonal and transpersonal maturation.


3. Mental Models:

 The particular mental-emotional-physical “organization” of each personality dynamic is characterized by distinctive inherent processes for taking in and assimilating information, and indeed for experiencing all of life. Each therefore tends to perceive and evaluate events and situations from quite different viewpoints and out of different experiential contents, which contributes to the formation of characteristic mental models.

 Understanding the personality dynamics, therefore, leads to greater insight into both the nature and the process of formation of one’s own mental models and those of others, which facilitates greater ease and effectiveness in appropriately responding to, affecting or amending them.


4. Team Learning:

 In every team, at least some, if not all, of the five predominant human systems will certainly be represented. If its members are unconscious of the ways in which each naturally thinks, feels, communicates, problem-solves and learns, the differences can lead to mush misunderstanding and misinterpretation of one another, disharmony or outright conflict, and less than optimal performance.

 By contrast, awareness of the personality dynamics represented enables the team members to communicate and work together harmoniously, and to consciously Leverage the gifts and capacities that each naturally brings, for the benefit of the whole.

 Such a team itself becomes a learning organization, its members constantly learning from and about one another, as they work together in consciousness for the realization of their common goals.


5. Shared Vision:

 When the formulation of a vision consciously includes the contribution of the different personality dynamics, the collective vision that results is most likely to be comprehensive, inclusive and representative of the way of “seeing” of the personality dynamic “constituency” of each of the people involved. Additionally, understanding the various communication needs and processes facilitates communicate of the vision and subscription to it.


6. Spiritual Values:

 While not explicitly identified in “The Fifth Discipline” as one of the core disciplines, the development and practice of spiritual values, and is a constant implicit thread. Human Dynamics provides concrete awareness of both the personal and transpersonal aspects of people, and offers insights and tools for the development and integration of both.
