Review: This one will test your staying power. Unless you've already read the Fifth Discipline, go back and read that first. This is a "what if we could start all over" approach to building enterprises that really communicate with themselves. There are lots of case studies, and you need to read in between the lines. Remember the headlines of the companies that are showcased. It will challenge existing thinking. Keep an open mind. It can leave you tilting at windmills, depressed, or reasonably optimistic that you really can help change the world.

Review: While I enjoyed this work and read it from cover to cover, it did begin to seem like too much of good thing. Some of the organization information seemed dated and some of the people who are offering advice are probably no longer held with such high regard in their former organizations. In any case, I would recommed it to anyone who is doing graduate or post-graduate work in organization and management or just wants some insight into how organizations really work.
