A million-copy bestseller, The Fifth Discipline reveals how systems thinking can transform the culture of any organisation.
We cannot afford to view organisations as mechanical structures where each worker is just a cog in a machine. On an individual level, this thinking snuffs out our curiosity, and on an organisational level, it inhibits us from recognising the true value of our co-workers. How do we instead create organisations that are living, breathing and dynamic?
In The Fifth Discipline, Peter Senge introduces the principles every organisation needs to expand its creative capacity, nurture new patterns of thinking and learn collaboratively - all to make the whole organisation more effective than the sum of its parts. Mastering the disciplines will:
- Reignite the spark of learning, driven by people focused on what truly matters to them
- Transform mere teamwork into a culture of collective creativity, or 'macro-creativity'
- Liberate team members from confining assumptions and mindsets
Drawing on science, spiritual values, psychology and case studies from leading companies like Apple, Harley-Davidson and Shell, this bestselling business classic is the definitive guide to growth, personal development and management coaching.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
The book that put "learning organisations" into the lexicon of modern management . . . An idiosyncratic blend of psychology, systems dynamics and Zen-inspired philosophy. * Financial Times * Forget your old, tired ideas about leadership. The most successful corporation of the future will be something called a learning organization. * Fortune * One of the seminal management books of the past seventy-five years. * Harvard Business Review * 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. * Amazon *
