Wrapping it all up
Words from the Wise
• Peter M. Senge: Teams, not individuals, are the
fundamental learning unit in modern
organizations. This is where the "rubber stamp
meets the road"; unless teams can learn, the
organization cannot learn.
• Norman Shidle: A group becomes a team when
each member is sure enough of himself and his
contribution to praise the skill of the others.
• Peter Drucker: The leaders who work most
effectively, it seems to me, never say 'I'. And
that's not because they have trained themselves
not to say 'I'. They don't think 'I'. They think 'we';
they think 'team'. They understand their job to
be to make the team function. They accept
responsibility and don't sidestep it, but 'we' gets
the credit.... This is what creates trust, what
enables you to get the task done.”
