Ten Steps to a Learning Organization - Revised

This is a good book--one that everyone should have in their library as a resource.That being said, everyone has their library ordered by importance, usefulness, and relevance. This book is in the middle of the pack. It starts off so strong, but then kind of gets in its own way.The authors mention they have added new material to this edition and one can tell since it isn't seamless. It's as if they frequently wondered, "OK, what story can we throw/force into this part of the chapter?"I was taking so many notes but then at about Step 7, it lost its immediate practicality, so i stopped. They went from everyday approaches for practices to all out training seminar type of material. They should have written two books--one for the everyday practical and one for the "Mapping" steps.Allot of typos too.For me it was on its way to being as thorough as The Leadership Challenge but then it just fizzled.

I've had to read many learning organizational books for my graduate studies -- this was one of my favorites out of maybe 10 I've read. One, it's fun to read! The examples are erudite, taken from other disciplines like science and math, not just business. The 10 steps are easy to follow, logical and well represented. The authors rely on concrete examples that everyone can relate to. If I had to train a group of people or point an organization towards achieving its goals as a learning organization, I would rely on this book as my bible. Great writing style, great examples -- overall one of the most enjoyable I've read!

See above for more information on this rating for this excellent book on designing and sustaining a Learning Organization, thanks.

Well, honestly speaking, after having read Peter Senge's THE FIFTH DISCIPLINE I feel that this book, which was bublished originally some 3 years after Senge's, contributes some examples from practice (i liked the section on mind mapping) - but overall the title suggests a red threat that, when reading, can be questioned with regards to its structure and sequence and contribution.Senge is truly inspiring, while the added value in this book seems (at least to me) fairly marginal.

Great book, incredibly comprehensive, used it for a short course, and will probably keep it with me the rest of my life. Lot's of reference material, including the matrix assessment which is a must have for all organisations.Speedy delivery, good packaging. Very happy with my purchase.

The book was in good condition. It was required for a class in grad school and fulfilled it's purpose. Helpful to the class.

I bought this book for a class. Though a bit dated, it is very helpful. I recommend it for those who are serious about helping their organization one that learns.

The textbook was a prefect choice for my course about Learning Organizations. I look forward to using it in other courses, hopefully. An interesting and quick read!

I haven't read it. It is more for reference but it looks informative enough!
