  2. A brief Argyris Lexicon • Model 1 and Model II Model 1 : conventional model used by most people on all cultures: Seeks uniilateral control. Win never lose. Act rationallly. Suppress negative feelings Model II : seeks to encourage learning not winning. Aim is to produce valid information and bilateral control and commitment.

  3. Argyris lexicon 2 • Single and double loop learning Single loop learning involves investigating the properties of human and non human systems by adjusting one`s behavior to avoid negative outcomes and produce positive ones Double loop learning seeks to investigate processes within both self and other simultaneously to develop shared understanding of problems and solutions.

  4. A typology of conflict situations • Task conflicts (conflicts of understanding and of goals) • Process conflicts disagreements about how the issue should be resolved) • Relationship conflicts (deep-seated conflicts which transcend specific issues)

  7. Guidelines for Learning • Assume that you might miss things others see and see things others miss. • Raise your views in such a way that you encourage others to raise theirs. • When others express views that you disagree with,seek to understand what they they see that leads them to those views. • Inquire into the reasoning behind other`s views while inviting them to inquire into your reasoning.

  8. Guidelines for Learning (cont`d) • Extend the same listening to others you would wish them to extend toward you. • Seek to better understand other`s experiences while helping them to understand yours. • Surface your feelings in such a way that you make it easier for others to surface theirs. Regard your views as a perspective on the world, not the world itself.

  9. Guidelines for Learning (cont`d) • Notice when you are attributing political (self serving) motives to others. Consider the possibility that their concerns are understandable or legitimate. • Beware of either-or thinking. It can prevent you from discovering integrative possibilities. • Publicly test your assumptions about how and why people say and do things
