The Fifth Discipline: The art and practice of the learning organization

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.
