A book that's hard to stay focused on while your mind flits to your own real-life working experience upon reading the many ways system thinking can improve the way we strategize and work together. A bunch of this isn't new if you've read about cybernetics or system theory before, but I really enjoyed the segments on personal mastery and on shared vision. Both are such hard problems in this nonlinear world. It might not seem intuitive how to extrapolate from the more straightforward industry examples mentioned in the book, but what I take from this is, that it takes continuous analysis and reflection, and a long-term attitude. Inspiring!
