The fifth discipline : the art and practice of the learning organization

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.""Forget your old, tired ideas about leadership. The most successful corporation of the 1990s will be something called a learning organization." -- "Fortune Magazine."
