Description

Peter Senge, founder and director of the Society for Organisational Learning and senior lecturer at MIT, has found the means of creating a 'learning organisation'. In The Fifth Discipline, he draws the blueprints for an organisation where poeple expand their capacity to create the results they truly desire, where new and expansive patterns of thinking are nutured, where collective aspiration is set free, and where people are contually learning together. The Fifth Discipline fuses these features together into a coherent body of theory and practice, amking the whole of an organisation more effective than the sum of its parts. Mastering the disciplines will:

• Reignite the spark of learning, driven by people fosucsed on what truly matters to them.
• Bridge teamwork into macro-creativity.
• Free you from confining assumptions and mind-sets.
• Teach you so see the forest and the trees.
• End the struggle between work and family time.

The Fifth Discipline is a remarkable book that draws on science, spiritual values, psychology, the cutting edge of management thought and Senge's work with leading companies which employ Fifth Discipline methods. Reading it provides a searching personal experience and a a dramatic professional shift of mind. This edition contains more than 100 pages of new material about how companies are actually using and benefisting from Fifth Discipline practices, as well as a new foreword from Peter Senge about his work with the Fifth Discipline over the last 15 years.
