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.

Perhaps for the first time in history, human-kind has the capacity to create far more information than anyone can absorb; to foster far greater interdependency than anyone can manage, and to accelerate change far faster than anyone's ability to keep pace.

If there is genuine potential for growth, build capacity in advance of demand, as a strategy for creating demand. Hold the vision, especially as regards assessing key performance and evaluating whether capacity to meet potential demand is adequate.

In dialogue, individuals gain insights that simply could not be achieved individually.

In a sluggish system, aggressiveness produces instability. Either be patient or make the system more responsive.

It takes courage and skill to be unambiguous and clear.

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