Organizational
Learning and Flow:
The basic works on
flow are by Mihalyi Csikszentmihalyi. But his works are perhaps best understood
when read together with Aristotle's Ethics and Politics and
other modern writers.
Aristotle identified
happiness as the ultimate goal of human beings, but that it was a happiness
born of human activity. "Happiness (flourishing) is an activity of
the soul in accordance with virtue." Victor Frankl points to the
human need for struggling toward a worthwhile goal, freely chosen. Csikszentmihalyi's
works, as digested in the answer to question three, bring these together.
Peter M. Senge distinguishes between emotional tension (stress) and creative
tension. Robert Fritz writes of "structural tension." A UK writer
describes this as constructive tension. Patricia Benner, applying the
work of Hubert and Stuart Dreyfus, demonstrates how moving from novice
to expert also moves from rules-following to intuitive behavior.
Our contribution is
to synthesize these writings and show how they can be graphically displayed
demonstrating that learning & growth will necessarily follow work
that is intrinsically valued.
