About this listen

 Peter Senge's groundbreaking ideas on building organizations have made him a household name among corporate managers. His theories help businesses to clarify their goals, to defy the odds, to more clearly understand threats, and to recognize new opportunities. He introduces managers to a new source of competitive advantage, and offers a marvelously empowering approach to work.

Mastery of Senge's five disciplines enables managers to overcome their obstacles to growth and creates brave new futures for them and their companies. The five disciplines are drawn from science, spiritual wisdom, psychology, the cutting edge of management thought, and Senge's own work with top corporations that employ his methods. Listening to The Fifth Discipline provides a searching personal experience and a dramatic professional shift of mind.

Although it is an abridged version it still affected me and slightly changed my life
Hope audible provide the full version soon

Life changing

This is an abridged version of the book. However, it is really useful to listen to Peter Senge in person as he adds an additional emphasis to the printed book. I have both and find they work well together. It also increased the speed of my note taking from the kindle version.

An abridged version but

Gives a great view of the whole system instead of its parts which I’d never appreciated before

Great book!

This is great to listen to, although he doesn't narrate the whole thing - hearing Peter Senge's enthusiasm is fantastic. A word of warning though, because systems thinking is a visual thing you should treat this as a companion to the book rather than a replacement. You won't get the idea of systems diagrams from just listening.

Great but you need the book as well

Senge's business best seller offers an accessible and very practical guide to improving organisational performance through a focus on conversational technique, an appreciation of various types of feedback loop and the ability to recognise our mental models and test if they're true or useful. I was a little concerned that this had been abridged but it loses nothing in coherence or useful detail and I've been able to put a number of fifth discipline techniques to work with good results since making this purchase. Anyone with an interest in organisational development, project management, team leadership or management development would benefit from listening to this book

Immensely useful and intelligently abridged

The content of the books was interesting enough for me to finish it.
There is some fluff inside though and some examples look like retrofitted to underline some concept or idea but I can live with that in this case.
It's an old book but over all I've learned something from it.

Overall a decent audiobook

Great book not enough details
