Management Leadership Styles Quinn and Senge
... Quinn’s model outlines the eight roles of a manager as producer, director, monitor, facilitator, coordinator, broker, innovator and mentor. ... Quinn’s model is a survival manual for anyone trying to stay afloat in a constantly changing organization. ... He focuses around change management but also a new way of thinking about change and how it affects our lives. ... However, Quinn only talks about managers and how you manage the competing values in an organisation reflect on your capabilities as a manager. Quinn talks about being a different style of manager depending on the situation and environment you find yourself in and that how it is the organisational style that dictates the type of manager to be implemented. But there is much critique associated with Quinn’s work as his model does not incorporate the functions and importance of design, culture and responsibility inherent in leadership. ... These initiatives are skilfully described using Peter Senges Five Disciplines of Learning Organisations (Senge, 1990). In 1987, Peter Senge experienced an epiphany during a meditation session. It was on this day that he first realised the possibilities of a "learning organization" that used "systems thinking" as the primary theory of a revolutionary management philosophy. Senge’s carefully integrated corporate framework is structured around "personal mastery," "mental models," "shared vision," and "team learning." Using ideas that originate in fields from science to spirituality, Senge explains why the learning organization matters.
