Answer 1

1.Organizational learning works best when there is integrated thinking and acting at all levels of the organization, according to Peter Senge.

True : As per Peter Senge, when the culture of continuous learning permeates to every employee, then there is synchronisation and alignment and it leads to integrated thinking where everyone is on the same page and has the same intention to learn more, acquire more knowledge and perform better to achieve the company's shared goals. Hence, the answer is TRUE.

2. A key function of the leaders in a learning organization is to generate an organization wide commitment to change.

True

A learning organisation is one wherein every employee is actively learning new ways and new things to face the new reality of business environment and expectations. New learning is possible only when every employee genuinely feels that there is a deficit in knowledge and skills and old ways will not be able to produce the same results in future. This awareness of knowledge and skill gap creates a sensitivity and openness to change and triggers learning. The job of the leader is to create platforms and opportunities to share the gaps and make employees aware and kindle the eagerness to learn and facilitate learning by providing the required resources. It is one of the essential qualities of a leader to commit sincerely to the process of learning in the organisation.

3. Codes of conduct not a good way for an organization to attract individuals who might want to work for a business that embraces high standards.

False

Individuals who might want to work for business that embraces high standards are looking for processes and systems in place. Rather than personality driven businesses, they are eager to work for system driven organisations that nurture the growth of employees and help them to adhere to the set policies. The high standards are recognised and at the same time any incident of the protocol being violated are seriously dealth with. Companies have well defined and articulated Code of Business Conduct which are communicated to every single employee and also reinforced at various times. Hence, the answer is False.
