Another classic, full of wisdom, but nearly impossible to get through because it's one of the most poorly written books I've ever read. One wonders if Senge had an editor? It's dull, turgid, dense and just a pain to read. Again, poor writing makes for hard reading.

That said, I have to give it 4 stars for the pearls that are in it. I don't agree with everything, but if you're a serious knowledge worker, or lead them, you should at least give this book a cursory reading.

    We used this book as a template for organizational management in a college course I took a few years back. Senge's "loops" and the expectations of return from them is something I really enjoyed. Looking ahead downstream to take out the potential logjams is something that everyone needs to look at.

    Ask a qHave started re-reading this book, or at least sections of it. I'm particularly interested in the section on "Personal Mastery" and how individual development and personal knowledge management can contribute to overall success of an organization. If I remember correctly, it has some good info. I just need to re-learn it.uestion, kick off a discussion, or just talk about this book...
