- “Building shared vision – a practice of unearthing shared pictures of the future that foster genuine commitment and enrollment rather than compliance.”[1]
- “Team learning starts with dialogue, the capacity of members of a team to suspend assumptions and enter into genuine thinking together.”[1]
- “Systems thinking– The Fifth Discipline that integrates the other four.”[1]
