Dentre as disciplinas a quinta disciplina o autor destaca como sendo a principal e que não é muito presente nos dias de hoje.

Christoph Dibbern: This book sharpened my view on organizational development and learning organizations. It is easy to read and offers deep insights how to make the first steps towards better results and a culture of trust, learning and reinvention.

Jill V: This guy is the king of leadership theory. Holy cow. And kudos for being able to write over 500 pages on such an abstract topic. You, sir, definitely have me beat in the IQ department.

That said, this book should have been about 75 pages shorter. The amount of extraneous words Senge shoves into interminably long sentences (I’m taking like three lines of small text without a period) is mind blowing, but also mind FRYING. OH MY GOD INSERT MORE PERIODS, PETE. “Ands” and commas get exhausting after 300 pages of non abstract theory, never mind abstract theory. I’m only in my second leadership course and I feel like I’ve been clobbered over the head with info here-I just wish Smarty Senge could have been more concise. “To” is better than “in order to.” In stead of listing things 1-5 and then detailing them out in summary, just do the summary and number each item as it is covered. And I don’t need a review of the chapter I JUST READ to start the NEXT CHAPTER. I mean I’m not nearly as smart as the author but… I can recall what a read a page ago. It boggles me that this is the second edition yet it is still written with such insufferable (at times)...

Strinkar Skewes: Este libro me lo pidieron en la escuela para una materia. Lo compré en inglés porque salía más barato que en español. Cuando me llegó, comencé a leerlo inmediatamente para no perder el tiempo y tener el resumen de la obra lo más pronto posible. Un día, mi profesor faltó a una clase. No pasa nada, todo mundo llega a faltar por distintas razones, sin embargo, esto se repitió por cuatro días. Espero que el profesor se encuentre bien, porque ya nunca supimos que fue de él. Diría que me hizo gastar dinero, pero comprar un libro nunca es un desperdicio de dinero.

En fin, lo importante es que el libro me llegó en buenas condiciones y el tema del pensamiento sistémico que trata, es interesante.

Chris Z.: The purpose of the Fifth Discipline is to turn corporations into learning organizations and to create learning environments for those that take part in these corporations. The author explains what the 5 disciplines are and describes the 7 learning disabilities that each of us will encounter and how to overcome them. The first discipline is personal mastery. By achieving this discipline we are able to see the results that matter most to us. The second discipline involves overcoming mental models. Mental models are ideas that are essentially ingrained into the way we think. The third discipline is building a shared vision. A shared vision is a common and genuine goal where people want to learn because they want to. The fourth discipline is team learning. Team learning is being able to enter a dialogue where ideas are shared openly and everyone is thinking together, not just a single person providing ideas and the rest of the group agrees as to not create conflict. The fifth discipline is systems thinking, the bonding agent meant to bring all the other disciplines together. This discipline is where people discover how they create their reality and how the can change it.
We are...
