I have been working with 5th Discipline material for 10 months on
organizational development and personal/professional development. I am
intrigued by the synergistic nature of the different components of the
material and find it very applicable to my personal and business world.

With the material covering the components and inter-relationships of
personal vision (personal), systems thinking (organizational) and leading
learning organizations (team), it combines the three elements I have found
to be essential for effective decision making:

1) Personal - it works for me
2) Inter-personal - it works for our team
3) Organizational: it works for the company

I've found that if all 3 elements are satisfied by the new direction (i.e.
change) then it has always been a complete and effective decision. If one
or more is missing it may work at a local level but rarely has the same
impact as if all 3 were represented.

This material and the associated action and thought processes is providing
me with tools to be the best I can be in a leadership role.

I look forward to participating in this discussion group to expand my
learning in this area.
