"Having used many of these ideas over the past 13 years this has been an important book in my career. With that said, it is laid out in a bit of a convoluted way. I strongly recommend it for anyone that is involved in organizational development. But I don't have to. You have already read it. "

— Lynn, 7/13/2010" A classic in leadership that all who supervise anything in any sector should read. "
— Dave, 7/5/2010" Senge doesn't overhype and although all the little diagrams get a little tiring, sometimes his turn of phrase or way of putting things really makes sense. In particular, his diagnoses of management get right at the heart of matters. "
— Wm, 5/29/2010" Interesting...to a point.... <br/>Had to read for college course I edited. "
— Laura, 5/11/2010" I would not have picked it up unless it was assigned to me in class. I mean the concepts were excellent and I can see their application to my life but I wouldn't have read it otherwise. "
