More quotes by Peter Senge
The systems perspective tells us that we must look beyond individual mistakes or bad luck to understand important problems.
Peter Senge
Team learning is the Process of aligning and developing the capacity of a team to create the results its members desire. It builds on the discipline of developing a shared vision. It also builds on personal mastery, for talented teams are made up of talented individuals.
Peter Senge
In a sluggish system, aggressiveness produces instability. Either be patient or make the system more responsive.
Peter Senge
The Industrial Age is not sustainable. Its not sustainable in ecological terms, and its not sustainable in human terms.
Peter Senge
Reality is made up of circles but we see straight lines.
Peter Senge
All great things have small beginnings.
Peter Senge
Perhaps for the first time in history, human-kind has the capacity to create far more information than anyone can absorb to foster far greater interdependency than anyone can manage, and to accelerate change far faster than anyone's ability to keep pace.
Peter Senge
The rate at which organizations learn may soon become the only sustainable source of competitive advantage.
Peter Senge
In the absence of a great dream pettiness prevails. Shred visions foster risk taking, courage and innovation. Keeping the end in mind creates the confidence to make decisions even in moments of crisis.
Peter Senge
When all is said and done, the only change that will make a difference is the transformation of the human heart.
Peter Senge
If there is genuine potential for growth, build capacity in advance of demand, as a strategy for creating demand. Hold the vision, especially as regards assessing key performance and evaluating whether capacity to meet potential demand is adequate.
Peter Senge
By using the systems archetypes we can learn how to “structure” the details into a coherent picture of the forces at play.
Peter Senge
Most leadership strategies are doomed to failure from the outset. As people have been noting for years, the majority of strategic initiatives that are driven from the top are marginally effective - at best.
Peter Senge
The care leadership strategy is simple: be a model. Commit yourself to your own personal mastery. Talking about personal mastery may open people's minds somewhat, but actions always speak louder than words. There is nothing more powerful you can do to encourage others in their quest for personal mastery than to be serious in your own quest.
Peter Senge
The world is made of Circles And we think in straight Lines
Peter Senge
If you want real, significant, sustainable change, you need talented, committed local line leaders. If the line manager is not innovating, then innovation is not going to occur.
Peter Senge
You cannot force commitment, what you can do…You nudge a little here, inspire a little there, and provide a role model. Your primary influence is the environment you create.
Peter Senge
When there is genuine vision(as opposed to the all-too-familiar vision statement), people excel and learn, not because they are told to, but because they want to.
Peter Senge
When teams are truly learning, not only are they producing extraordinary results, but the individual members are growing more rapidly than could have occurred otherwise.
Peter Senge
We need to be the authors of our own life.
Peter Senge
