Peter M. Senge Knihy

Leading management guru Peter M Senge defines the five business 'disciplines' which together help to build learning organizations. These companies will be the successful ones in the coming decade because of their ability to learn, to absorb new ideas, theories and practices at all employee levels and use them to competive adventage. Shared vision, teamwork and leverage are the main themes of this book.

Autor v aktualizovaném vydání své proslulé knihy dokládá, že jedinou konkurenční výhodou, kterou může organizace získat, je schopnost učit se rychleji než druhé, a nastiňuje strategie učící se organizace, které rozvíjejí schopnost lidí dosahovat výsledků, na nichž jim skutečně záleží.

"Imagine a world in which the excess energy from one business would be used to heat another. Where buildings need less and less energy around the world, and where "regenerative" commercial buildings - ones that create more energy than they use - are being designed. A world in which environmentally sound products and processes would be more cost-effective than wasteful ones. Now, stop imagining - that world is already emerging. A revolution is underway in today's organisations. As the authors reveal in "The Necessary Revolution", companies around the world are boldly leading the change from dead-end, business-as-usual tactics to transformative strategies that are essential for creating a flourishing, sustainable world. There is a long way to go, but the era of denial has ended. Today's most innovative leaders are recognising that for the sake of our companies and our world, we must implement revolutionary - not just incremental - changes in the way we live and work"--Dust jacket.

Sparked by a conversation about the lack of moral and ethical standards at high levels, Jaworski's classic tale provides an inspirational yet practical guide to developing the most essential leadership capacity for our time.

"How do we go beyond the first steps of corporate change? How do we sustain momentum?" These are the questions that The Fifth Discipline Fieldbook team seek to answer in "The Dance of Change".

The team that wrote the Fifth Discipline Fieldbook--which showed business how to build learning organizations--now explains how to sustain organizational change to produce long-term results

Presence is an intimate look at the development of a new theory about change and learning. In wide-ranging conversations held over a year and a half, organizational learning pioneers Peter Senge, C. Otto Scharmer, Joseph Jaworski, and Betty Sue Flowers explored the nature of transformational change—how it arises, and the fresh possibilities it offers a world dangerously out of balance. The book introduces the idea of “presence”—a concept borrowed from the natural world that the whole is entirely present in any of its parts—to the worlds of business, education, government, and leadership. Too often, the authors found, we remain stuck in old patterns of seeing and acting. By encouraging deeper levels of learning, we create an awareness of the larger whole, leading to actions that can help to shape its evolution and our future. Drawing on the wisdom and experience of 150 scientists, social leaders, and entrepreneurs, including Brian Arthur, Rupert Sheldrake, Buckminster Fuller, Lao Tzu, and Carl Jung, Presence is both revolutionary in its exploration and hopeful in its message. This astonishing and completely original work goes on to define the capabilities that underlie our ability to see, sense, and realize new possibilities—in ourselves, in our institutions and organizations, and in society itself.
