I&#8217;ve asked my team to read a book about either banking or business about every two months.  We started with <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Execution<\/span>; one team member told me that was not practical enough (!) so the next book I picked was <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Getting Things Done<\/span>.  A member of my team suggested this book &#8211; he hadn&#8217;t read it but the review he read made it sound really good.  Since that&#8217;s often how I pick business books to read, I agreed and put this up for Nov. and Dec.<\/p>\n<p>I got a copy and read it.  Very useful book with a lot of good ideas, mostly around applying systems thinking to problems.  The reviews spend a lot of time talking about creating a learning organization, and perhaps that&#8217;s what the author wanted to point out, but I think the book spends most of its time and effort showing how to apply systems thinking to problems.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s quite a good enough topic, and this book in my opinion delivers a lot.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"translate_block\" style=\"display: none;\">\n<hr class=\"translate_hr\" \/>\n<a class=\"translate_translate\" id=\"translate_button_post-158\" lang=\"en\" xml:lang=\"en\" href=\"javascript:show_translate_popup('en', 'post', 158);\"><span>Translate<\/span><\/a><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.alephnaught.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/google-ajax-translation\/transparent.gif?resize=16%2C16&#038;ssl=1\" id=\"translate_loading_post-158\" class=\"translate_loading colorbox-158\" style=\"display: none;\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\" alt=\"\" \/>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Title: The Fifth Discipline: The Art &amp; Practice of The Learning Organization Author: Peter M.
