Fifth Discipline
Peter Senge's book The Fifth Discipline describes the five components in his model as follows: 1) personal mastery (i.e. skills, abilities, talents, values, ethics, etc.); 2) mental models (i.e. mental images and ingrained assumptions that influence how we understand the world and how we take action; 3) shared vision (i.e. people to learn at work and excel because they want to, not because they have to; 4) team learning (i.e. team members participate in true dialogue); and 5) systems thinking (i.e. the integrative discipline that fuses the first four into a coherent body of business theory and practice).
