[German] - Hörspielbox 1 - Bürgerkrieg und Aufbruch (Folgen 01-12)

"Die Zukunft - trotz aller Errungenschaften so ungewiss wie nie zuvor. Im 22. Jahrhundert hat die Menschheit Raumstationen in der Unendlichkeit errichtet und erforscht das Sonnensystem - bemüht, im Weltall das zerbrechliche Gleichgewicht aufrechtzuerhalten, das auf der Erde zwischen den zwei Machtblöcken existiert: der 'Union' und den 'Republiken'. Mark Brandis ist Testpilot und fliegt für die neutrale Venus-Erde Gesellschaft für Astronautik (VEGA). Als er mit dem neuen Prototyp Delta VII unter dem Kommando von John Harris von einem langen Testflug zurückkehrt, hat sich die Welt verändert - und der Bürgerkrieg, der nun ausbricht, soll ihm nun endlich die Chance geben, zu beweisen, dass er sich doch als Raumschiffkommandant eignet ..."

The Dance of Change

"Since Peter Senge published his groundbreaking book The Fifth Discipline, he and his associates have frequently been asked by the business community: "How do we go beyond the first steps of corporate change? How do we sustain momentum?" They know that companies and organizations cannot thrive today without learning to adapt their attitudes and practices. But companies that establish change initiatives discover, after initial success, that even the most promising efforts to transform or revitalize organizations—despite interest, resources, and compelling business results—can fail to sustain themselves over time. That's because organizations have complex, well-developed immune systems, aimed at preserving the status quo. Now, drawing upon new theories about leadership and the long-term success of change initiatives, and based upon twenty-five years of experience building learning organizations, the authors of The Fifth Discipline Fieldbook show how to accelerate success and avoid the obstacles that can stall momentum. The Dance of Change, written for managers and executives at every level of an organization, reveals how business leaders can work together to anticipate the challenges that profound change will ultimately force the organization to face. Then, in a down-to-earth and compellingly clear format, readers will learn how to build the personal and organizational capabilities needed to meet those challenges. These challenges are not imposed from the outside; they are the product of assumptions and practices that people take for granted—an inherent, natural part of the processes of change. And they can stop innovation cold, unless managers at all levels learn to anticipate them and recognize the hidden rewards in each challenge, and the potential to spur further growth. Within the frequently encountered challenge of "Not Enough Time," for example—the lack of control over time available for innovation and learning initiatives—lies a valuable opportunity to reframe the way people organize their workplaces. This book identifies universal challenges that organizations ultimately find themselves confronting, including the challenge of "Fear and Anxiety"; the need to diffuse learning across organizational boundaries; the ways in which assumptions built in to corporate measurement systems can handcuff learning initiatives; and the almost unavoidable misunderstandings between "true believers" and nonbelievers in a company. Filled with individual and team exercises, in-depth accounts of sustaining learning initiatives by managers and leaders in the field, and well-tested practical advice, The Dance of Change provides an insider's perspective on implementing learning and change initiatives at such corporations as British Petroleum, Chrysler, Dupont, Ford, General Electric, Harley-Davidson, Hewlett-Packard, Mitsubishi Electric, Royal DutchShell, Shell Oil Company, Toyota, the United States Army, and Xerox. It offers crucial advice for line-level managers, executive leaders, internal networkers, educators, and others who are struggling to put change initiatives into practice."

The Fifth Discipline: The Art & Practice of The Learning Organization

"Create your own guide to mastering the disciplines of organizational learning with this invaluable guide based on the national bestseller The Fifth Discipline. "The Fieldbook is a must read for anyone serious about building communities of common purpose, collective action, and continuous learning."-H. Thomas Johnson, author of Relevance Lost and Relevance Regained   Peter Senge's The Fifth Discipline revolutionized the practice of management by introducing the theory of learning organizations. Now Dr. Senge moves from the philosophical to the practical by answering the first question all lovers of the learning organization ask: What do they do on Monday morning? The Fieldbook is an intensely pragmatic guide. It shows how to create an organization of learners where memories are brought to life, where collaboration is the lifeblood of every endeavor, and where the tough questions are fearlessly asked. The stories here show that companies, businesses, schools, agencies, and even communities can undo their "learning issues" and achieve superior performance. If ever a work gave meaning to the phrase hands-on, this is it. Senge and his four co-authors cover it all, including: • Reinventing relationships • Being loyal to the truth • Strategies for developing personal mastery • Building a shared vision • Systems thinking in an organization • Designing a dialogue session • Strategies for team learning • Organizations as communities • Designing an organization's governing ideas   The Fieldbook is designed to be referred to in meetings, planning sessions, during reflections, or anytime a conflict or challenge arises. Open it up anywhere and icons and cross-references will lead you from defining the problem to thinking about how to solve it. Mark up the pages, write in the margins, draw, scribble, and daydream-and watch your own guide to mastering the disciplines of organizational learning evolve."
