1. Systems Thinking
- Business
& other human endeavors are systems
- Systems
are bound by invisible fabrics of interrelated actions
- These
often take years to fully play out their effects on each other
- Since
we are part of the lacework, it's often hard for us to ?? the
whole pattern of change
- We
tend to focus on snapshots of isolated parts of the system,
and
- Wonder
WHY our deepest problems never seem to be solved
- Systems thinking helps us to
SEE the full patterns
- Systems thinking helps us to
CHANGE systems more effectively

mastery is an essential cornerstone of the learning organization

our energies

Personal mastery is emphasized

and weaknesses. Participants are given feedback on their own
emotional blindspots and encouraged to work on these weaknesses
so as to ensure better teamwork.
