Learning organization
Understanding organization’s operations can be complex; there are several aspects that enable it to operate efficiently. How an organization operates requires good knowledge of all the aspects to develop a complete picture. Peter Senge presents the concept of learning organization through the five disciplines that entails what it means to understand leadership. He analyzes the seven learning disabilities, explaining what each of them represents and how organization function, which is a crucial process in understanding how organizations operate (Senge,2014 p. 9). To understand the concept according to Peter Senge, a spray diagram elaborates this concept.

Diagram summary
According to Peter Senge, the art of understanding an organization relies upon the five basic elements of system thinking, personal mastery, mental models, shared vision, and team learning. The most important element of system thinking is feedback process. Feedback entails reinforcing and balancing (Taggart, 2010 p.4). An individual can grow or languish depending on which action the manager takes. Balancing is an act where informal requirements increase productivity; it is a matter of understanding how to balance to avoid employees feeling unappreciated (Taggart,2010 p.3).
The informal rules should be valued because formal process affects interpersonal relationships. Personal mastery is an important element because it involves personal growth and learning, a process required by organization leaders to increase their abilities to realize the results they need (Taggart, 2010 p. 5).
Senge believes that people have their sets of assumptions, and prejudices that might affect their interaction these are important elements that need to be identified and find a way of dealing with them by adjusting our mental models(Taggart,2010 p.5). Shared Visions is equally important because it connects employees bonding them together by a common aspiration. A shared vision is a key component of understanding an organization. Team building is a process required or aligns team members to achieve the goal they truly believe in; a team is an essential ingredient for learning in an organization (Taggart,2010 p.5).
