"He's got an engineer brain and this book is super focused on corporations -- however, some of what he's got to say about vision, mission, and levers for change is useful in understanding how complex systems/organizations function"
"Senge provides a powerful insight into how systems work (or not) and what defines a system. It is a lens through which it is easy to gain new and fresh understanding on leadership and organisations, and particularly - on interrelatedness and on processes."
"I am only half way through this book and I have already come away with a changed mindset. Although this is a book on process organizational systems in terms of industry, it clearly has applications in many other areas, including education. My one warning is that once you start viewing the organization in Senge's terms you will become even more frustrated with the lack of communication and understanding of management as a whole in whatever job you currently work--especially if excellence is your goal. However, as a teacher, it has changed the way that I view my OWN organization process in the classroom. I look forward to reading Senge's book that is written about education. Also know there are fieldbooks that go along with some of these books.
This is the first book in quite some time that I find myself writing notes in the margins and passing the book over to my husband to read. I am starving for a discussion about this book!"
"This book breaks down the organization by targeting on group problem solving utilizing the systems thinking method to change companies into learning organizations. The book examines the use of the five disciplines for growing three core learning capabilities: fostering aspiration, growing reflective conversation, and understanding intricacy. Basically it breaks down the role of the organization and how each individual fits within the organization."
