Curiosity will gain you knowledge
With enough innate curiosity about the world we live in, this is the only book an individual needs to be able to perform a root cause failure analysis.Chocked full of personal life experience anecdotes, the author eloquently guides us to how he arrives at the steps necessary to learn from things that go wrong.Leave your calculator in its case; this book reads like a novel and is not dry scientific stuff, but you will find yourself referring to it countless times as you proceed with your own failure analysis.On a deeper, subtler level, this is also the story about a man using his own "tools" to discover more about himself and the world around him. ...

Find your OWN path to organizational learning
I have known one of the authors, Iva Wilson, for many years.When I served with her on a Board I thought she had a remarkable ability to distill an idea that was in the air in such a way that we all took full credit.Based on this experience, I anticipated that this book would help me with organizational learning, which it did. Learning Takes Courage
Learning, true learning, takes courage. Being a life-long-learner means being comfortable admitting that all our previous thoughts, feelings and actions-while they were the best we could do at the time-were limited by what we had not yet learned.Being a learner means admitting that the answers we believe in today are always limited by what we will learn tomorrow. Practical Approach to Organizational Learning -- Finally!
This is the first book on OL that I would feel comfortable passing on to a business manager.Most of the others I've read are more geared toward researchers in the area.But the work is thoroughly researched and referenced, so even researchers will find the book a good lesson in how to write for the business audience!The summaries of key contributions in the field (esp Argyris, Schon, Senge) at the beginning would be a great primer for someone new to this area of research, and the practical advice in the later part of the book in terms of questions to answer at each stage of going forward with your OL effort were highly appropriate. ...

Smae old Stuff
This whole book is based on the work of so many others and doesn't really offer any new ideas. Group think, fast business, keep up with the times, all of these ideas have been floating around for at least a decade if not longer. I suggest reading books on the subject that are ten years old. You'll get the same basic stuff.

Creative and Intensive Collaboration in "The Fast Lane"
In the Introduction, McGehee suggests the need for �new methods� for leaders and managers in today�s workplace. �As I see it, organizations face two choices. The first option is to remain the same, emphasizing current methods of compliance, by which I mean consistently focusing on what the company has done, not on what it can do. That method calls for constantly measuring past performance, focusing on problem solving to regain what you�ve lost, rigidly holding onto past models of success, and creating experts in various specialties.� McGehee thinks he has a much better idea and I wholeheartedly agree. �Or, an organization can become a Creation Company. Creation Companiessee the changing nature of work as one of the greatest opportunities of our time, and they understand that the opportunity can only be seized by unleashing the individuals within the organization. What this means is allowing individuals the freedom to explore, discover, and take action on the organization�s behalf, in real time.� In his thought-provoking book, McGehee explains HOW. Some Gems are Here
Does the world really need another book on how to re-make and lead high performing companies? If the reaction of many companies to the recent downturn is any indication, then no, not one book, but probably 1,000 more books until the business world "gets it." There are some important concepts in this book that should be fairly easy to take away and implement--once a company generates the corporate will to do so. One is the difference in mindset between running what the author calls a creation company and running the more common type of company, which he calls a compliance company. The second centers on the topic of chapter five--the art of collaboration. While collaboration has received a great deal of lip service in recent years, the author lays out some simple characteristics and a simple process to remind everyone how to do actually do it. Collaboration will become a more important ingredient for survival over the next decade, regardless of which way the economy turns. Brian Gillooly of Information Week thinks it's so important that he's chosen it as the theme of their annual conference this September. The third important concept is the chapter on models. Senge popularized the idea of mental models, but McGehee has some nice insights to add.Read more
