Summary
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?

What They're Saying
Critics Review
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 *
