I think we have to notice that the business processes we use right now for thinking and planning and budgeting and strategy are all delivered on very tight agendas.

Too many problem-solving sessions become battlegrounds where decisions are made based on power rather than intelligence.

Relationships are all there is. Everything in the universe only exists because it is in relationship to everything else. Nothing exists in isolation. We have to stop pretending we are individuals that can go it alone

Whatever life we have experienced, if we can tell our story to someone who listens, we find it easier to deal with our circumstances.

Organizations are now confronted with two sources of change: the traditional type that is initiated and managed; and external changes over which no one has control.

Passion mutates into procedures, into rules and roles. Instead of purpose, we focus on policies. Instead of being free to create, we impose constraints that squeeze the life out of us.

Without aggression, it becomes possible to think well, to be curious about differences, and to enjoy each other's company.
