Title: La cinquième discipline
Author(s): Peter Senge
Publisher: First, 1991

Based on the premise that a learning organization can only be developed under certain conditions, the book explains the importance of various factors, such as the ability to learn in teams. The author holds that companies hoping to acquire this particular skill must develop two types of know-how:

• the ability to communicate and temporarily put aside the desire to be right;
• control over defensive reflexes, which provoke counter-productive behavior when faced with opposition.
