More quotes by Peter Senge
Leadership is about creating new realities.
Peter Senge
It is a testament to our naïveté about culture that we think that we can change it by simply declaring new values. Such declarations usually produce only cynicism.
Peter Senge
The gap between vision and current reality is also a source of energy. If there were no gap, there would be no need for any action to move towards the vision. We call this gap creative tension.
Peter Senge
Small changes can produce big results - but the areas of highest leverage are often the least obvious.
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
Additional problems are the offspring of poor decisions. When inquiry and advocacy are combined, the goal is no longer 'to win the argument', but to find the best argument.
Peter Senge
When executives lead as teachers, stewards, and designers, they fill roles that are much more subtle and long-term than those of power-wielding hierarchical leaders.
Peter Senge
An accurate, insightful view of current reality is as important as a clear vision.
Peter Senge
Courage is simply doing whatever is needed in pursuit of the vision
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
Learning is all about connections, and through our connections with unique people we are able to gain a true understanding of the world around us.
Peter Senge
In great teams conflict becomes productive.
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
We need to be the authors of our own life.
Peter Senge
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
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
The world is made of Circles And we think in straight Lines
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
Few, if any, forces in human affairs are as powerful as shared vision.
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.
