A batch of the best highlights from what Miroslav's read, .
Leading inevitably involves trying to effect significant changes.• It is very hard to bring about significant changes in any human group without changes in individual behaviors.• It is very hard to sustain significant changes in behavior without significant changes in individuals' underlying meanings that may give rise to their behaviors.• It is very hard to lead on behalf of other people's changes in their underlying ways of making meaning without considering the possibility that we ourselves must also change.
How the Way We Talk Can Change the Way We Work
Robert Kegan, Lisa Laskow Lahey
Languages differ not only in how they build their sentences, but also in how they break down nature to secure the elements to put in these sentences….By these more or less distinct terms we ascribe a semi-fictitious isolation to parts of experience. English terms, like ‘sky, hill, swamp,’ persuade us to regard some elusive aspect of nature’s endless variety as a distinct THING, almost like a table or chair. Thus, English and similar tongues lead us to think of the universe as a collection of rather distinct objects and events corresponding to words. Indeed, this is the implicit picture of classical physics and astronomy—that the universe is essentially a collection of detached objects of different sizes.”
