Book Description

In The Fifth Discipline, Peter M. Senge describes how companies can rid themselves of the learning “disabilities” that threaten their productivity and success by adopting the strategies of learning organizations—ones in which new and expansive patterns of thinking are nurtured, collective aspiration is set free, and people are continually learning how to create results they truly desire.

Senge believes mastering the disciplines outlined in the book will:

  • Reignite the spark of genuine learning driven by people focused on what truly matters to them
  • Bridge teamwork into macro-creativity
  • Free you of confining assumptions and mindsets
  • Teach you to see the forest and the trees
  • End the struggle between work and personal time

Book Review

The Fifth Discipline has turned many readers into true believers; it remains the ideal introduction to Senge’s carefully integrated corporate framework, which 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, provides an unvarnished summary of his management principals, offers some basic tools for practicing it, and shows what it’s like to operate under this system. The book’s concepts remain stimulating and relevant as ever. –Howard Rothman –This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.  – Amazon.com
