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.

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.

Over the long run, superior performance depends on superior learning.

Image
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
Image
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.

A learning organization is an organization that is continually expanding its capacity to create its future.
Peter Senge

The Industrial Age is not sustainable. Its not sustainable in ecological terms, and its not sustainable in human terms.

Leadership is about creating new realities.

Small changes can produce big results - but the areas of highest leverage are often the least obvious.
Peter Senge
Image
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.

When I look at efforts to create change in big companies over the past 10 years, I have to say that there's enough evidence of success to say that change is possible - and enough evidence of failure to say that it isn't likely. Both of those lessons are important.
