A hands-on guide to creating a learning culture in organizations. This is my go-to resource for management and strategy. With case studies and opportunities for reflection, this isn't a book to read cover-to-cover as much as it is an intensely practical workbook. I come back to it often and go right to the section that is relevant now. Because the whole book is anchored in Peter Senge's Fifth Discipline framework, the pieces all fit together as a coherent whole, even where different authors are presenting the case studies.

Not a systems dynamics/theory/thinking beginner's book. Donella Meadow's "Thinking in Systems: A Primer" is an easier introduction. Senge's Field Guide is confusing with all the referrals to other books. It is also confusing with all the paper loops. Maybe because this is based on Jay Forrester's "Systems Dynamics." That group insists that what we learn from simple systems (hot stove = burn and pain) does not apply to complex systems. They claim that understanding complex systems requires a computer and modeling software. If that is true, perhaps Senge is trying explain more about systems than can be done in a book. There are also feel-good stories which I suspect are book-sales motivated. These remind me of the quick-fix guru consultants who Russell Ackoff derided.

Love, love, love this book! It is chock full of learning experiences that are applicable to almost any organization. As an HR professional I have gone back to this book repeatedly to get ideas for how to help struggling work groups. I lent it out a while back, and whoever I lent it to must have liked it as well, because they haven't returned it. So I purchased another copy.

My assumption is that most people are buying this book for a class, much like myself. I found that in using the book it was difficult to match it with the actual “Fifth Discipline” book. The field book dates from 1994, whereas the newest edition of the Fifth Discipline is from 2014. The stories are nice, but again, the tie-in is a bit difficult and I am uncertain if it is the date relationship or not. The information that is provided isn't so much dated, it can certainly be used, I did have some issues with maybe a greater emphasis on the use of technology and communication over virtual networks and such.

Not the knowers of the Five Disciplines will benefit and thrive, but the doers of the Five Disciplines. This book helps people take the concepts from an intellectual understanding to a practical understanding - taking the concepts from theory into practice by providing examples of the material being applied in real situations.
The fieldbook steers you toward deeper understanding of the concepts by providing other sources - recommended reading and also provides margin space to note your own thoughts and ideas as you use the fieldbook. There are numerous exercises to help develop skill in using the disciplines in your own company or organization.

This volume is one of the most useful books I have ever owned. I have worked for over 35 years in law enforcement, the Courts, prison and victim ministry and within the administrative bodies of he Catholic Church and the concepts presented by Professor Senge and his associates come up again and again! I cannot give this text sufficient stars to properly reflect its value.

Everything You Would Ever Want to Develop Your Management
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 8, 2005Verified Purchase
If you ever wanted a book that contains almost everything you would ever want to develop your management skills, this is it. As a business coach, I have found it remarkably thorough and recommend it to my clients often.
This is a different iteration of the original book 'The Fifth Discipline', (both are by Peter Senge) - itself a breakthough book.
The work Senge created in the Fieldbook version is practical and do-able, with the focus on individual exercises in as wide a range of management applications as you could need. I think it's a leap ahead of the original for that reason.
That being said, there are some more up to date areas that have evolved, such as, for example, Succession Planning, but with the vast array of components in this book, many of these will be covered off anyway.
For anyone who wants both a dip-in workbook as well as a groundbreaking comprehensive manual, this book must be in your library, it will serve you well for the whole of your management career.
By the way, if you buy it on here (Amazon), don't be put off by the number of pages. If you buy it (after trying to pick it up!) in a bookshop, don't be put off by it's weight!
If you take it a 'module' at a time, you will find it remarkably readable and fun - but I wouldn't attempt to read the whole thing in one go - just take your time.
Enjoy meandering around it, it's a truly fascinating read!

I used this to revamp the training organisation of a heritage railway; convincing volunteers is hard at the best of times if its strange and new method, but, this book certainly helps as it highlights the strategies available to you.
