Reality is made up of circles but we see straight lines.

Small changes can produce big results - but the areas of highest leverage are often the least obvious.
Peter Senge
Image
Many in positions of authority lack the capabilities to truly lead. They are not credible. They do not command genuine respect. They are not committed to serve. They are not continually learning and growing. They are not wise.
Peter Senge

Courage is simply doing whatever is needed in pursuit of the vision
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
Image
An accurate, insightful view of current reality is as important as a clear vision.
Peter Senge
Image
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.

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.
