needs
We need to be the authors of our own life.
mistake perspective luck
The systems perspective tells us that we must look beyond individual mistakes or bad luck to understand important problems.
dream decision risk
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.
team unique views
A unique relationship develops among team members who enter into dialogue regularly. They develop a deep trust that cannot help but carry over to discussions. They develop a richer understanding of the uniqueness of each person's point of view.
people innovation care
One possibility for difficulties innovating is that most people really donÕt care about innovation.
team thinking ideas
In great teams, conflict becomes productive. The free flow of conflicting ideas is critical for creative thinking, for discovering new solutions no one individual would have come to on his own.
action
Learning cannot be disassociated from action.
time stress needs
The faster we go, the slower we need to be.
wise growing authority
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.
thinking organization people
Learning organizations organizations where people continually expand their capacity to create the results they truly desire, where new and expansive patterns of thinking are nurtured, where collective aspiration is set free, and where people are continually learning how to learn together.
perseverance creative allies
Mastery of creative tension brings out the capacity for perseverance and patience. Time is an ally.
winning poor-decisions goal
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.
heart differences making-a-difference
When all is said and done, the only change that will make a difference is the transformation of the human heart.
courage destiny personal-mastery
Personal mastery teaches us to choose. Choosing is a courageous act: picking the results and actions which you will make into your destiny.
