In great teams conflict becomes productive.
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

Peter Senge
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.
Peter Senge

Peter Senge
If you want to see the future of management education you should go to see Team Academy.
Peter Senge
The rate at which organizations learn may soon become the only sustainable source of competitive advantage.
Peter Senge
Teams, not individuals, are the fundamental learning unit in modern organizations. This is where the rubber stamp meets the road unless teams can learn, the organization cannot learn.
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
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
All great things have small beginnings.
Peter Senge
Like a pane of glass framing and subtly distorting our vision, mental models determine what we see.
