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 people 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, making 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 focused on what truly matters to them. Bridge teamwork into macro-creativity. Free you from confining assumptions and mind-sets. Teach you to see the forest and the trees. End the struggle between work and family time.
