Text Quotes
Every parent’s deepest wish is that their children are self sufficient, happy, and able to live a full life.  (Peter Block Quotes) Questions draw us together. Answers push us apart  (Peter Block Quotes) Relationship and connectedness are the pre-condition for change. Every meeting, every process, every training program has to get people connected first. Otherwise the content falls on deaf ears. So small groups are an essential building block to any future you want to create  (Peter Block Quotes) The price of change is measured by our will and courage, our persistence, in the face of difficulty.  (Peter Block Quotes) Why follow the steps of another to find out where our dreams will lead us  (Peter Block Quotes) Change from the top down happens at the will and whim of those below  (Peter Block Quotes) Transformation comes more from pursuing profound questions than seeking practical answers  (Peter Block Quotes) Why do anything unless it is going to be great?  (Peter Block Quotes) It is hard to learn when we think we know something  (Peter Block Quotes) Ones vision is not a road map but a compass  (Peter Block Quotes) The goal is to balance a life that works with a life that counts  (Peter Block Quotes) As long as we wish for safety, we will have difficulty pursuing what matters  (Peter Block Quotes) What worked yesterday is the gilded cage of tomorrow  (Peter Block Quotes) We must act as if our institutions are ours to create, our learning is ours to define, our leadership we seek is ours to become  (Peter Block Quotes) The shift in the world begins with a shift in our thinking. Shifting our thinking does not change the world, but it creates a condition where the shift in the world becomes possible  (Peter Block Quotes) It is a misuse of our power to take responsibility for solving problems that belong to others  (Peter Block Quotes) The choice to worry about why we are doing something more than how we do something is risky business  (Peter Block Quotes) How do you change the world? One room at a time. Which room? The one you’re in  (Peter Block Quotes) All we have to do to create the future is to change the nature of our conversations, to go from blame to ownership, and from bargaining to commitment, and from problem solving to possibility  (Peter Block Quotes) The task of leadership is to be intentional about the way we group people and the questions that we engage them in  (Peter Block Quotes) We need to tell people not to be helpful. Trying to be helpful and giving advise are really ways to control others... Advice, recommendations, and obvious actions are exactly what increase the likelihood that tomorrow will be just like yesterday  (Peter Block Quotes) We must establish a personal connection with each other. Connection before content. Without relatedness, no work can occur  (Peter Block Quotes) Advice is unfriendly to learning, especially when it is sought. Most of the time when people seek advice, they just want to be heard. Advice at best stops the conversation, definitely inhibits learning, and at worst claims dominance  (Peter Block Quotes) To be committed means you are willing to make a promise with no exception of return  (Peter Block Quotes) The world does not need a better definition of issues, or better planning or project management. It needs the issues and the plans to have more of an impact, which is the promise of engagement  (Peter Block Quotes) I discovered that resolution of conflict comes from people being able to express their own feelings and their own needs in the face of another. Making agreements and setting goals without building upon the feelings of the parties involved is empty, because it does not consider the vulnerabilities of our own humanity  (Peter Block Quotes) If there is no transformation inside of us, all the structural change in the world will have no impact on our institutions  (Peter Block Quotes) Good questions work on us, we don’t work on them. They are not a project to be completed but a doorway opening onto greater depth of understanding, actions that will take us into being more fully alive  (Peter Block Quotes) Every parent’s deepest wish is that their children are self sufficient, happy, and able to live a full life  (Peter Block Quotes) If we believe something does not exist unless we measure it, then we put aside: love, feeling, intuition, art and philosophy  (Peter Block Quotes)
