Publisher Comments:
An MIT Professor's pathbreaking book on building "learning organizations" — corporations that overcome inherent obstacles to learning and develop dynamic ways to pinpoint the threats that face them and to recognize new opportunities. Not only is the learning organization a new source of competitive advantage, it also offers a marvelously empowering approach to work, one which promises that, as Archimedes put it, "with a lever long enough... single-handed I can move the world."
Review:
"Forget your old, tired ideas about leadership. The most successful corporation of the 1990s will be something called a learning organization." — Fortune Magazine.
Review:
"Forget your old, tired ideas about leadership. The most successful corporation of the 1990s will be something called a learning organization." -- Fortune Magazine.
Synopsis:
"The Fifth Discipline" has turned the principles of the learning organization into a movement of snowballing size and strength. The ability to respond to change was the crucial issue of the '90s, but management tools such as "reengineering" and "total quality" simply treat the symptoms. Adopted by Ford, AT&T, and others, here is a cure for the disease Senge calls "learning disabilities."
