Peter Senge Vision Quotations

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.

Courage is simply doing whatever is needed in pursuit of the vision

Like a pane of glass framing and subtly distorting our vision, mental models determine what we see.

In some ways clarifying a vision is easy. A more difficult challenge comes in facing current reality.

It takes courage and skill to be unambiguous and clear.

The most effective people are those who can "hold" their vision while remaining committed to seeing current reality clearly

You cannot have a learning organisation without a shared vision...A shared vision provides a compass to keep learning on course when stress develops.

Few, if any, forces in human affairs are as powerful as shared vision.

If people don't have their own vision, all they can do is 'sign-up' for someone else's.
