Team learning is the Process of aligning and developing the capacity of a team to create the results its members desire. It builds on the discipline of developing a shared vision. It also builds on personal mastery, for talented teams are made up of talented individuals.

It takes courage and skill to be unambiguous and clear.

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