Learning to see the structures within which we operate begins a process of freeing ourselves from previously unseen forces and ultimately mastering the ability to work with them and change them.
Peter Senge

Like a pane of glass framing and subtly distorting our vision, mental models determine what we see.
Peter Senge
Image
In a learning organization, leaders are designers, stewards, and teachers. They are responsible for building organizations where people continually expand their capabilities to understand complexity, clarify vision, and improve shared mental models - that is, they are responsible for learning.
Peter Senge
Image
We need to be the authors of our own life.
Peter Senge
Image
The organizations that will truly excel in the future will be the organizations that discover how to tap people's commitment and capacity to learn at all levels in an organization.
