Great book about leadership to problem solve. I’ve given this book away countless times to teachers, friends, and pastors. You can read it in a few hours. Keep an extra copy on your shelf if you are a leader who supports professional training.I use this book as a reference in several public courses that I teach. I purchased more than two dozen for my leadership team at church. My daughter has read the book at least four times since she was 7 years old. It is a great talking piece for adults and children.A lot of blank space, cartoon drawings and scant, obvious text make this book a poor choice for any learning organization.A short, easy read that is a modern-day fable about how systems work. Charming and enlightening. Good discussion questions at the end--this book could be applied to so many work and life experiences. Funny, too!Outlearning the wolves,By David Hutchens. This book is a short and at times funny book. It is fast and easy too read, but still has good content. It is about how one sheep in a flock spoke out in an effort to stop wolf related casualties (WRC). This sheep motivated the flock and they started too try and find a way too stop the wolf. They all put their thoughts together and pieced together the mystery of how the wolfs were getting to their pen and then found a way to stop it. But they would still have trouble...Had to read the book for school and it was quite interesting and a cool way to explain the different aspects of systems thinking.My undergraduate students love this book! Teaching systems thinking in a military college is not as unlikely as it might seem but it does present challenges. This book has proven very successful as a 'launching pad' for the semester's work, keeping their attention while presenting key concepts succinctly. It's a safe bet that if it can engage people who have 28 hours of tasks to cram into a 24-hour day, it would be worth its weight in gold in a manufacturing setting, a dot.com company, or anywhere busy people are balancing production with growing an organization.This is a good book which introduces the concept of a learning organization in a graphic manner.Really good simple story illustrating a Systems approach, reading it to my son (6), but good for all ages as a metaphor.
