Thinking About….

November 27, 2010 ·

Funny, I read Peter Senge years ago…but for some reason he keeps drawing me back. I want to get these two quotes down, and think about them.

“Organizations learn only through individuals who learn. Individual learning does not guarantee organizational learning. But without it no organizational learning occurs…..” Peter Senge

“Our prevailing system of management has destroyed our people. People are born with intrinsic motivation, self-respect, dignity, curiosity to learn, joy in learning. The forces of destruction begin with toddlers–a prize for the best halloween costume, grades in school, gold stars–and on up through the university. On the job, people, teams, and divisions are ranked, rewarded for the top, punished for the bottom. Management by Objectives, quotas, incentive pay, business plans, put together separately, division by division, cause further loss, unknown and unknowable.” Edwards Deming

Coming back to this later. Need to run and process…
