Peter Senge Vision Quotations

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

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

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

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

It takes courage and skill to be unambiguous and clear.

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

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

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

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.
