From AudioFile

Daniel Goleman uses his considerable interview skills to draw insights from a noted organizational learning expert. His questions are as much expository as they are probing. Goleman has an extensive supply of behavioral science expertise and anecdotes and is talented at creating a collaborative flow. Based on Senge's latest book, the conversation is about the value of staying open to the present moment and suspending belief in service of learning. Both authors say listening to others and acting from a collective truth is more powerful than thinking alone or acting within a rigid chain of command. The universality and reach of these ideas are enormous and made even more powerful by the spontaneity and energy in the authors' voices.
