The future cannot be determined. It can only be experienced as it occurring. Life doesn't know what it will be until it notices what it has become.

We experience problem-solving sessions as war zones, we view competing ideas as enemies, and we use problems as weapons to blame and defeat opposition forces. No wonder we can't come up with real lasting solutions!

Listening moves us closer, it helps us become more whole, more healthy, more holy. Not listening creates fragmentation, and fragmentation is the root of all suffering.

I believe that the capacity that any organization needs is for leadership to appear anywhere it is needed, when it is needed.

A leader is one who... Has more faith in people than they do, and . . . who holds opportunities open long enough for their competence to re-emerge.

In this present culture, we need to find the means to work and live together with less aggression if we are to resolve the serious problems that afflict and impede us.

Determination, energy, and courage appear spontaneously when we care deeply about something. We take risks that are unimaginable in any other context.
