Jeffery David Whippo Shares His Thoughts on
Single-Loop Learning Versus Double-Loop
Learning
Jeffery David Whippo, a Ph.D. in Educational Psychology with a
Doctorate in Business Administration says that according to Chris
Argyris and Donald Schon, who originated the terms, “single-loop
learning” is correcting an action to solve or avoid a mistake, while
“double-loop learning” is also correcting the underlying causes
behind the problem. Jeff believes that organizational learning is all
about detecting and correcting error.
Whippo explains that single-loop learning happens when this process
of identifying error enables the organization to carry on its present
policies of achieve its objectives. He indicates that a practical
example of single-loop learning could be the automatic air
conditioning thermostat in your home or office. The thermostat
learns when it is either too hot or too cold inside and then turns the
heat or air conditioning on or off to meet a set desired temperature.
Jeffery Whippo indicates that to take this example a step further, if
the thermostat could question itself about whether or not it should
be set at 68 degrees, then it would not only be cable of detecting
error (that the temperature was not 68 degrees) but it would be
capable of questioning the underlying policies and goals, as well as
the reasoning behind the set temperature. He says this is
demonstrating a second and much more comprehensive inquiry,
therefore setting an example of double-loop learning. Another
example Whippo says would be when production managers of a
medical device company were detecting and attempting to correct
an error in order to manufacture their new trocar, that was single

loop learning. However, Jeff explains, when the production managers
and marketing managers began to confront the questions surround
whether or not their new trocar should be manufactured at all, that
was double-loop learning, due to the fact that they were now
questioning underlying organizational policies and objectives.
Jeff Whippo strongly believes that double-loop learning is more
difficult than single-loop learning as it requires three skills:
1. Self-awareness to recognize what is often unconscious or habitual
2. Honesty or candour to admit mistakes and discuss with colleagues
to discover and validate causes
3. Taking responsibility to act appropriately on what is learned.
Jeff says that according to Argyris, “today, facing competitive
pressures an earlier generation could hardly have imagined…leaders
and subordinates alike…must all begin struggling with a new level of
self-awareness, candor, and responsibility” (Argyris, 1994).

THE WENCHES CRISIS RESPONSE D ractice Perfect To best prepare for a crisis, drill! DIANE GAGE LOFGREN & JOHN NELSON -f) [email protected] ^ [email protected] B y its very definition, a crisis is no time to get on-the-job training. It's a time of intense pressure when systems are strained, weaknesses are amplified and crucial decisions must be made on the spot. A blown first impression can leave a lasting mark—and be difficult to correct. The best way to handle a crisis is to be prepared for one, and the best way to do that is to practice. In other words, drill. Crisis drills are a critical part of health care communications success, especially in the age of social media. Crises are more frequent now because of the com- plexity and increasing transparency of today's environment, and the ramifica- tions are instantly known in one contin- uous news cycle. The Internet and social media have created more moving parts and accelerated the making or breaking of reputations during a crisis. During crisis drills, organizations conduct training to practice ways to protect the brand whue informing the public in the event of a crisis. Drills allow organizations to practice making decisions and engaging stakeholders in response to the unexpected. They help to critique individuals and responses before there's real reputational skin in the game so that when the time comes, teams are prepared to respond in real time. Hosting crisis trainings is critically important, even for the most veteran issues manager. A Dnll That Produces Results To run a good simulation, leaders must create a crisis scenario that includes meaningful, challenging and realistic elements for the team to practice. In a recent crisis drill. Kaiser Permanente designed a scenario that was fictional but ground- ed fuUy in reality, and it evolved and escalated over time. Participants initially were faced with what appeared to be a medical error, but the crisis quickly grew to include elements of medication abuse, compliance failures, union concerns and political sensitivity. This scenario was played out over the course of 90 minutes and was very carefully planned to engage crisis communicators who share accountability but work in nine different states. When the drill was over, a thorough debrief was conducted. All participants shared their learnings, which ranged from social media eye-openers to re- newed awareness around the speed that information and misinformation travel. Here are some proven processes to help you and your organization plan an effective crisis drill: 1. Know your focus. The planning phase is one of the most important parts of a simulation. Before coming up with a scenario, teams should decide on the set of skills, structures or other elements that they want to test. It's not necessary to practice on all aspects of a crisis. Setting up a scenario that is overly broad, especially if the drill is only an hour or two, is guaranteed to make it too superficial. ...

MAKING OB WORK FOR ME WhatIsOBandWhyIsItImportant? THE VALUE OF OB TO MY JOB AND CAREER Theterm organizationalbehavior(OB) describesaninterdisciplinaryfielddedicatedto understandingandmanagingpeopleatwork. To achieve this goal, OB draws on research and practice from many disciplines, including:  Anthropology  Economics  Ethics  Management  Organizational theory  Political science  Psychology  Sociology  Statistics  Vocational counseling HowOBFitsintoMyCurriculumandInfluencesMySuccess AContingencyPerspective—TheContemporaryFoundationofOB A contingencyapproach callsforusingtheOBconceptsandtoolsthatbestsuitthesituation, insteadoftryingtorelyon“onebestway.” This means there is no single best way to manage people, teams, or organizations. A particular management practice that worked today may not work tomorrow. What worked with one employee may not work with another. The best or most effective course of action instead depends on the situation. Thus, to be effective you need to do what is appropriate given the situation, rather than adhering to hard-and-fast rules or defaulting to personal preferences or organizational norms. Organizational behavior specialists, and many effective managers, embrace the contingency approach because it helps them consider the many factors that influence the behavior and performance of individuals, groups, and organizations. Taking a broader, contingent perspective like this is a fundamental key to your success in the short and the long term. How Self-Awareness Can Help You Build a Fulfilling Career The Stanford Graduate School of Business asked the members of its Advisory Council which skills are most important for their MBA students to learn. The most frequent answer was self- awareness.6 The implication is that to have a successful career you need to know who you are, what you want, and how others perceive you. Larry Bossidy (former CEO of Honeywell) and Ram Charan (world-renowned management expert) said it best in their book Execution: “When you know yourself, you are comfortable with your strengths and not crippled by your shortcomings. … Self-awareness gives you the capacity to learnPage 6 from your mistakes as well as your successes. It enables you to keep growing.”9 They also argue that you need to know yourself in order to be authentic—real and not fake, the same on the outside as the inside. Authenticity is essential to influencing others, which we discuss in detail in Chapter12. People don’t trust fakes, and it is difficult to influence or manage others if they don’t trust you. As professors, consultants, and authors, we couldn’t agree more! To help you increase your self- awareness we include multiple Self-Assessments in every chapter. These are an excellent way to learn about yourself and see how OB can be applied at school, at work, and in your personal life. Go to Connect, complete the assessments, and then answer the questions include ...

Organizations spent $359 billion globally on training in 2016, but was it worth it? Not only is most of the training in today’s companies ineffective, but the purpose, timing, & content of training is flawed. Want to see eyes glaze over quicker than you can finish this sentence? Mandate that busy employees attend a training session on “business writing skills”, or “conflict resolution”, or some other such course with little alignment to their needs. Like lean manufacturing & the lean start-up before it, lean learning supports the adaptability that gives organizations a competitive advantage in today’s market. It’s about learning the core of what you need to learn, applying it to real-world situations immediately, receiving immediate feedback & refining your understanding, & then repeating the cycle. To begin practicing lean learning, organizations need to move from measuring credits earned to measuring business outcomes created. Lean learning ensures that employees not only learn the right thing, at the right time, & for the right reasons, but also that they retain what they learn.

Mark Bosco 9 Mar 20209 Mar at 18:49 Manage discussion entry Process- A set of instructions or formal direction to push production from beginning to end. Process Integration- The procedure of putting instruction into practice. Company management is to develop a plan of action. The plan of action is then carried out through the training program. The training program trains the employees to get them prepared for daily operations. I work in a factory and there are many different stations that go into the production of our product. To ensure that new hires are prepared for the tasks themselves there is a training area that has smaller versions of all the work areas that new hires spend their first day working within. The training area gives the new hires the opportunity to gain a basic understanding before going to the production floor. However, the training area limits the experience procedure itself, it does not teach the pace of the production floor. To train the new hires about the pace of the production floor, new hires are typically stationed in more of the less strenuous tasks first. Then as they become more comfortable with the pace of production they are transitioned to the more pivotal workstations. This multitiered integration helps make process training more seamless for new hires. It is a very effective plan of action.

Running head: DISCUSSION WEEK 1- DELIVERY 1 HAZE: DISCUSSION WEEK 1- DELIVERY 4 Discussion Week 1- Delivery Discussion Week 1- Delivery Every company has a responsibility to ensure that it operates on a sustainable model (Haag, Kellmann, & Schmidt, 2016). In this light, therefore, the circumstances of the MacArthur and Associates demand the same become successful by initiating some necessary changes. Development of Managerial Competence The managers in any business have to be competent enough to ensure that the business meets its strategic objectives. As seen in this case, both the CEO and the CFO are members of the family with no prior experience in the management of the business, based on the fact that they were all raised on the farm. Therefore, it would be imperative to engage people who are competent in management to take the company a step further. Leading Organizational Change on Compensation Fair compensation is the way to go if MacArthur and Associates are to realize any meaningful success. This is a double-loop learning strategy because the company may be complacent in looking at this strategy yet it may be costing it because of the movement of the employees. To get a stable organization, it will pay to ensure that the best employees are retained, and this can only happen if the employees are motivated, for instance through adequate reimbursement (Haag, Kellmann, & Schmidt, 2016). Creation of an All-Inclusive Model The employees must feel like part of the organization (Mateescu, Olaru, Sârbu, & Surugiu, 2016). This means that the workers at the MacArthur and Associates should be able to identify with the company. The all-inclusive model will ensure that most of the workers do not get engaged on a temporary basis, rather, the company needs to increase the number of the permanent employees, given that it operates in several states yet only has 500 full-time workers. In summary, MacArthur and Associates is a company that needs change to increase its prospects. For example, it should relook at its compensation model, create an all-inclusive business, and improve managerial competence. References Haag, M., Kellmann, R., & Schmidt, M. (2016).

Would you like your teams to learn faster, and be more agile and resilient? Innovation powerhouses like Google and IDEO have found that psychological safety is the #1 predictor of their best teams. icare and R U OK? just launched a world-first study into psychological safety in the workplace, which showed that frontline lower income-earning staff feel less safe and permitted to take risks at work than higher income-earning employees. The Australian Workplace Psychological Safety Survey canvassed 1,176 Australian employees and found that only 23 per cent of lower income-earning frontline employees felt their workplace was “psychologically safe” to take a risk, compared to 45 per cent of workers on significantly higher incomes. A “psychologically safe” workplace is characterised by a climate of interpersonal trust and mutual respect in which people feel comfortable being themselves to make mistakes or take risks in their work. Professor Amy Edmonson from Harvard Business School collaborated with R U OK? and has commented on the results. She said “This is the first time a country has ever measured psychological safety in the workplace”.

INTEGRATIVE FRAMEWORK FOR UNDERSTANDING AND APPLYING OB Demographics are a key input that affects important OB processes, most particularly perceptions, which in turn affect the individual-level outcome of well-being/flourishing and the organizational outcomes of being an employer of choice and corporate reputation. Page 111 winning at work PERCEPTION PLAYS A KEY ROLE IN GETTING A JOB A recent survey of 400 humanresource professionals uncovered results that are important to college graduates looking for a job. The overwhelming conclusion? That “entry-level workers are an entitled, unprofessional bunch.” About 45 percent of the HR professionals believed that the work ethic of new college graduates had slipped in the past five years.1 Let’s consider how you can avoid being perceived so negatively. IMPRESSIONS FROM SOCIAL MEDIA The Internet is a gold mine of information for recruiters, and some of it creates a bad impression. Photos of drunken behavior, or rants with foul language or that “bash” your employer, won’t improve a recruiter’s perception. You need to be careful about your online presence because approximately 20 percent of all organizations browse sites like LinkedIn, Facebook, MySpace, and Twitter to help screen employees. Consider the experience of Pete Maulik, chief strategy officer at Fahrenheit 212. Maulik was ready to make an offer to an applicant, but first decided to check out the man’s LinkedIn profile—and decided that the applicant was not a team player. “He took credit for everything short of splitting the atom,” Mr. Maulik said. “Everything was ‘I did this.’ He seemed like a lone wolf. He did everything himself.” Maulik recalls another good applicant who used his Twitter account “to disparage just about every new innovation in the marketplace.” Maulik concluded that the applicant “was much more comfortable as the critic than the collaborative creator.”2 This candidate was not hired either. IMPRESSIONS FROM YOUR RÉSUMÉ Typos, gaps in employment, and too much work history can leave negative impressions. Career coach Cheryl Palmer notes that using your employer’s e-mail sends the message to potential employers “that the job seekers will not hesitate to use their equipment for personal use.”3 RECOMMENDED TIPS The following suggestions can help you manage the impression you are sending when applying for a job. Do’s •Adjust your Facebook privacy settings so potential employers can’t see your party photos. •Use Twitter and LinkedIn to play up your professional interests (like posting relevant news articles). •Cross-check your résumé and LinkedIn profile to make sure there aren’t discrepancies. Don’ts •Don’t badmouth a current or former employer, colleague, or company. •Avoid using foul language and making negative remarks. •Don’t post anything that might be perceived as racist, biased, or illegal.4 Note: We cover impression management in more depth in Chapter 12. FOR YOUWHAT’S AHEAD IN THIS CHAPTER We want to help you enhance you.

Dr. Jeffery Whippo goes on to say that a few of the most widely used metrics are used to rank effective and ineffective leaders. The main drawback of using superiors' ratings is that the raters might not be willing to give harsh criticism. It comprises rating superiors' effectiveness and performance ratings, subordinates' ratings of their job satisfaction & morale of their leader's effectiveness, and business unit performance indices. One benefit is that scores are averaged to produce a mean performance rating, which is determined by the leaders' behaviors and the utilization of many raters.
