From publisher description

Klimawandel, Raubbau an Ressourcen, wachsende Müllberge und giftige Abfälle fordern ein Umdenken in der Gesellschaft. Wie kann ein radikaler Wandel zu nachhaltigem Wirtschaften gelingen? Peter Senge und seine Koautoren bieten eine umfassende Analyse der gegenwärtigen Krisen und deren Entstehung. Sie präsentieren ein neues Denken, das unser soziales und wirtschaftliches System als Teil eines größeren natürlichen Systems versteht. Anhand zahlreicher Beispiele zeigen sie, dass die notwendige Revolution bereits im Gange ist. Die Autoren, bestehend aus Organisationsberatern und Wissenschaftlern, berichten von erfolgreichen Vorreitern des Wandels, die innovative Ansätze in kooperativen Partnerschaften und Netzwerken verfolgen. Fallstudien von Unternehmen wie Coca-Cola und DuPont verdeutlichen, dass nachhaltiges Handeln für Unternehmen unerlässlich ist, um auch in Zukunft wettbewerbsfähig zu bleiben. Ergänzt werden die Beispiele durch Tools zur Strategieplanung und praktische Anleitungen für Veränderungsinitiativen sowie den Aufbau von Unternehmensnetzwerken. Diese Kombination ergibt ein unverzichtbares Handbuch für alle, die eine nachhaltige Zukunft für kommende Generationen gestalten möchten.

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.

Four pioneers in the field of organizational learning--Peter Senge, C. Otto Scharmer, Joseph Jaworski, and Betty Sue Flowers--explore the concept of transformational change, from how it comes about to its influence on people and their institutions, as it relates to collective change and its implications. 35,000 first printing.

"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".

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.

The essay "The Servant as Leader" by Bob Greenleaf stands out as a profound statement on leadership, offering insights that resonate deeply amidst a plethora of managerial literature. Peter M. Senge emphasizes its significance, urging serious leaders to engage with Greenleaf's ideas rather than other conventional texts. Max DePree highlights the growing momentum for enlightened leadership across various sectors, noting the scarcity of quality resources that address the values driving this movement. He considers the book a valuable gift for those who prioritize their responsibilities and relationships. M. Scott Peck shares examples of businesses that successfully utilized servant-leadership during crises, only to abandon these practices once challenges subsided. He points to the difficulty of embedding these principles into organizational culture. Jim Kouzes praises Greenleaf's legacy, asserting that true leaders recognize the power of purpose over position. Peter Block acknowledges Greenleaf's influence in integrating spirit and values into the workplace, ensuring his ideas remain relevant for future leaders. Over the past twenty-five years, Greenleaf's vision of servant-leadership has significantly impacted management theory, portraying leaders as those who empower others. This collection features key essays by Greenleaf and prominent thinkers like Peck and Senge, exploring the ethical use of power and the transformative po
