Purchase options and add-ons

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?

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.

Product description

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

From the Publisher

In the long run, the only sustainable source of competitive advantage is your organisation's ability to learn faster than its competitors.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Great book, but keep in mind that it is very non-practitioner friendly
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 17 July 2016
    Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase
    I read tons of business books, and I can assure you that this book is very strange. I would not recommend this book to most business practitioners.

    The book serves a narrow purpose, it's very non-mainstream book. Think carefully before buying it, it might not be the book you are looking for. However, if you are the right audience for the book - you will find it great, it is a book that deserves 5 stars!

    You will not find almost any directly applicable practice recommendations; you will not find a single coherent framework for building a learning organization that is ready for deployment (even though the book claims a single coherent framework). To me, the framework looked more as one good way of thinking on how to build learning organizations on a strategic level. Which is not the same as 'the way to implement learning organization practices'.

    What you will find however is valuable conceptual ideas (note that those will be presented in a very abstract manner) that would inspire your thinking and provide deeper understanding. It's an achievement worth admiration. There are some unique ideas worth exploring, and the book has the power of revolutionizing your thinking on how to build organizations.

    5.0 out of 5 stars How to Solve Any Problem
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 13 May 2013
    Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase
    This masterpiece latest edition by Peter Senge is a classic but also a futuristic guide to solving any problem by applying a Systems Thinking approach. What is Systems Thinking? Get the book (even if it's from your local library) and DISCOVER this common sense but highly sophisticated method of looking at problems from the outside not the inside. Senge also brings forward management wisdom in transforming organisations from a bureaucratic or tick box mentality to what the calls the LEARNING ORGANISATION. This alone is worth the time to read and ingest a new (for many) way of developing a culture of cooperation, creativity and long term sustainability.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Well worth a look for Systems Thinking
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 4 November 2012
    Verified Purchase
    Most accessible book I've read on Systems Thinking so far. Good examples and narratives, generally pretty OK to relate to. Can be a little evangelical and idealistic in places but then most books of this type tend to be. The fundamentals are there though so it is certainly worth a read for anyone wanting to know more about Systems Thinking.

    This is a great book I stumbled upon while working on my dissertation. I love the 2nd Edition and the Author is not only well versed and experienced but touches on cross cultural leadership not just in business but as well as other industries. An essential book for those who are interested in continued practice of Life Long Learning in any field or personal growth.

    5.0 out of 5 stars True wisdom inside
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 29 November 2006
    Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase
    Over 15 years and a few hundred more pages later this book remains number one on the list of management must reads.

    Systems thinking remains, in my opinion the way to go and the idea of learning organizations is still valid today. What is really special here is the idea that it's all about people. Some say the concepts are a bit too "new age" and Senge acknowledges this and admits that the term "carries a lot of baggage". W Edwards Deming spoke of a new economic age which was his terminology.

    Great book, will alway be near at hand for me.

    A fantastatic book which explaines the principles of learning organisation and help you decide whether or not your organisation is a learning one and what needs to be done to make it an effective and constructive learning organisation. In my opinion, you must read this book if you want to promote learning in your workplace. Ir promotes dialogue, learning together, etc.

    Great book and great content a must have for any development and learning practitioner or HR looking at creating a learning organisation. Peter backs up his arguments with plenty of examples and it's presented in such a way that it would fit any organisation. 500 pages that I will no doubt keep coming back to.
