The Fifth Discipline - Peter M.Senge - (Doubleday,1990) - Maybe the most significant business book since Tom Peters' In Search of Excellence. Few Corporations live even half as long as a person -- most die before they reach the age of forty -- primarily because of learning disabilities. Mr. Senge presents a system of thinking and acting that, if followed correctly, can be the basis for reducing the learning disabilities in any organization.

The Age of Unreason - Charles Handy - (Harvard Business School Press, 1989) - Business week called it ..."One of the ten best business books of the year".  Arguing that real change comes from "unreasonable people", Handy says that current changes are different; they are not part of a pattern, that the little changes can make the biggest differences, and the changes in our work will make the biggest changes in the way we live.  Although not "new", this book remains on our list because has arguments seem to have been validated over the last five years.

Thinking For A Living - Ray Marshall and Marc Tucker - (BasicBooks, 1992) - The authors set forth the belief that there needs to be a higher set of standards in schools and on the job so that workers can contribute to their full potential.  If America is going to compete on a global level economically, its citizens must "think for a living".
