It’s just not possible any longer to “figure it out” from the top, and have everyone else follow the orders of the “grand strategist”. The organizations that will truly excel in the future will be the organizations that discover how to tap people’s commitment and capacity to learn at all levels in an organization.” Peter Senge “The 5th Discipline”

Something to think about… • How would I listen if I knew I already got what I wanted? • When did I last listen without revising, resisting, countering, fixing or altering? • When did you last learn something from someone? What made it possible? • What am I currently attached to? Is that attachment a help or hindrance in my ability to listen?
