The Fifth Discipline
by Peter M. Senge
Peter Senge, founder of the Centre for Organisational Learning
at MIT's Sloan School of Management, experienced an epiphany while
meditating one morning back in the fall of 1987. That was the
day he first saw the possibilities of a "learning organisation"
that used "systems thinking" as the primary tenet of
a revolutionary management philosophy. He advanced the concept
into this primer, originally released in 1990, written for those
interested in integrating his philosophy into their corporate
culture.
The Fifth Discipline has turned many readers into true believers;
it remains the ideal introduction to Senge's carefully integrated
corporate framework, which is structured around "personal mastery",
"mental models", "shared vision", and "team
learning". Using ideas that originate in fields from science
to spirituality, Senge explains why the learning organisation matters,
provides an unvarnished summary of his management principals, offers
some basic tools for practising it, and shows what it's like to
operate under this system. The book's concepts remain stimulating
and relevant as ever.

Emotional
Intelligence at Work
by Hendrie Weisinger
This
text shows the reader how to master and apply the core competencies
of emotional intelligence to positively change work performance
and results. Recently attention has been turned to the idea that
climbing the corporate ladder depends less on analytical skills
or specific business competencies than it does on emotional intelligence
- the ability to manage emotions to achieve results. The good news
is that, unlike IQ, emotional intelligence can be developed and
dramatically increased. In this hands-on guide, Dr. Hank Weisinger,
a leading expert in the application of emotional intelligence, provides
a step-by-step approach to mastering the core competencies of emotional
intelligence - self awareness, mood management, self motivation
and interpersonal abilities. He shows how these competencies can
be applied in such things as negotiation, dealing with a difficult
co-worker, improving morale and motivation, or adapting to change.
Through scores of real-world examples and dozens of practical exercises,
readers will learn how to put these critical skills to work.
