Great but you need the book as well
This is great to listen to, although he doesn't narrate the whole thing - hearing Peter Senge's enthusiasm is fantastic. A word of warning though, because systems thinking is a visual thing you should treat this as a companion to the book rather than a replacement. You won't get the idea of systems diagrams from just listening.

This is only a fraction of the book
Very disappointing - feel conned. The only positive are the bits where Peter Senge speaks - quite a captivating speaker.

Immensely useful and intelligently abridged
Senge's business best seller offers an accessible and very practical guide to improving organisational performance through a focus on conversational technique, an appreciation of various types of feedback loop and the ability to recognise our mental models and test if they're true or useful. I was a little concerned that this had been abridged but it loses nothing in coherence or useful detail and I've been able to put a number of fifth discipline techniques to work with good results since making this purchase. Anyone with an interest in organisational development, project management, team leadership or management development would benefit from listening to this book

Overall a decent audiobook
The content of the books was interesting enough for me to finish it.
There is some fluff inside though and some examples look like retrofitted to underline some concept or idea but I can live with that in this case.
It's an old book but over all I've learned something from it.

An abridged version but
This is an abridged version of the book. However, it is really useful to listen to Peter Senge in person as he adds an additional emphasis to the printed book. I have both and find they work well together. It also increased the speed of my note taking from the kindle version.

A must read for all!
I have had the pleasure of reading Peter Senges book as well as listening to this audio version. I say version as the book is more comprehensive with over 400 pages and therefore the 4 hours of narative does not cover all of the books content.
That said, I don't think the audiable version omits any of the pertinent points, in fact hearing Peter explain his thoughts increases (at least for me) comprehension of the theory behind the idea of a learning organisation.
If you want to learn more about learning organisations, mental models, shared vision, self mastery, team learning and systems thinking from Peter Senges perspective, I suggest purchasing both versions of his book like I did.

Great but not the full book
Let’s be clear, the audiobook is great! Most of the book is read by a voice and some party by Peter Senge. Having Peter Senge giving some insight about the book is unique... however I would have liked to know that this is not the (audio)book before purchasing it.
Now I need to actually read the book...
I hope people will read comments before purchasing this , I did not.
Worth the time if you have the money
