Amazon Review
Peter Senge, founder of the Center for Organizational Learning at MIT's Sloan School of Management, experienced an epiphany while meditating one morning back in the fall of 1987. That was the day he first saw the possibilities of a "learning organization" that used "systems thinking" as the primary tenet of a revolutionary management philosophy. He advanced the concept into this primer, originally released in 1990, written for those interested in integrating his philosophy into their corporate culture.
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

Product Description
Completely Updated and Revised
This revised edition of Peter Sengeâ??s bestselling classic, The Fifth Discipline, is based on fifteen years of experience in putting the bookâ??s ideas into practice. As Senge makes clear, in the long run the only sustainable competitive advantage is your organizationâ??s ability to learn faster than the competition. The leadership stories in the book demonstrate the many ways that the core ideas in The Fifth Discipline, many of which seemed radical when first published in 1990, have become deeply integrated into peopleâ??s ways of seeing the world and their managerial practices.
In The Fifth Discipline, Senge describes how companies can rid themselves of the learning â??disabilitiesâ? that threaten their productivity and success by adopting the strategies of learning organizationsâ??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.
The updated and revised Currency edition of this business classic contains over one hundred pages of new material based on interviews with dozens of practitioners at companies like BP, Unilever, Intel, Ford, HP, Saudi Aramco, and organizations like Roca, Oxfam, and The World Bank. It features a new Foreword about the success Peter Senge has achieved with learning organizations since the bookâ??s inception, as well as new chapters on Impetus (getting started), Strategies, Leadersâ?? New Work, Systems Citizens, and Frontiers for the Future.
Mastering the disciplines Senge outlines in the book will:
â?¢ Reignite the spark of genuine learning driven by people focused on what truly matters to them
â?¢ Bridge teamwork into macro-creativity
â?¢ Free you of confining assumptions and mindsets
â?¢ Teach you to see the forest and the trees
â?¢ End the struggle between work and personal time
