The Industrial Age is not sustainable. Its not sustainable in ecological terms, and its not sustainable in human terms.
Peter Senge
Like a pane of glass framing and subtly distorting our vision, mental models determine what we see.
Peter Senge
How has the world of the child changed in the last 150 years? The answer is. It's hard to imagine any way in which it hasn't changed.They're immersed in all kinds of stuff that was unheard of 150 years ago, and yet if you look at schools today versus 100 years ago, they are more similar than dissimilar.
Peter Senge
Over the long run, superior performance depends on superior learning.
Peter Senge
People with high levels of personal mastery...cannot afford to choose between reason and intuition, or head and heart, any more than they would choose to walk on one leg or see with one eye.
Peter Senge
In great teams conflict becomes productive.

The key to success isn't just thinking about what we are doing but doing something about what we are thinking.

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.
Peter Senge

Peter Senge
A learning organization is an organization that is continually expanding its capacity to create its future.
Peter Senge
When there is genuine vision(as opposed to the all-too-familiar vision statement), people excel and learn, not because they are told to, but because they want to.
Peter Senge
The most effective people are those who can hold their vision while remaining committed to seeing current reality clearly
Peter Senge
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.
Peter Senge
Perhaps for the first time in history, human-kind has the capacity to create far more information than anyone can absorb to foster far greater interdependency than anyone can manage, and to accelerate change far faster than anyone's ability to keep pace.
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
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.
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
When placed in the same system, people, however different, tend to produce similar results.
Peter Senge
Leadership is about creating new realities.
Peter Senge
Few, if any, forces in human affairs are as powerful as shared vision.
