MORE THAN ONE MILLION COPIES IN PRINT - "One of the seminal management
books of the past seventy-five years."--Harvard Business Review
This revised edition of the bestselling classic is based on fifteen
years of experience in putting Peter Senge's ideas into practice. As
Senge makes clear, in the long run the only sustainable competitive
advantage is your organization's ability to learn faster than the
competition. The leadership stories demonstrate the many ways that the
core ideas of the Fifth Discipline, many of which seemed radical when
first published, have become deeply integrated into people's ways of
seeing the world and their managerial practices.
Senge describes how companies can rid themselves of the learning blocks
that threaten their productivity and success by adopting the strategies
of learning organizations, in which new and expansive patterns of
thinking are nurtured, collective aspiration is set free, and people are
continually learning how to create the results they truly desire.
Mastering the disciplines Senge outlines in the book will:
- Reignite the spark of genuine learning driven by people focused on
what truly matters to them
- Bridge teamwork into macrocreativity
- Free you of confining assumptions and mindsets
- Teach you to see the forest and the trees
- End the struggle between work and personal time
This updated edition contains more than one hundred pages of new
material based on interviews with dozens of practitioners at companies
such as BP, Unilever, Intel, Ford, HP, and Saudi Aramco and
organizations such as Roca, Oxfam, and The World Bank.
