You have just been talking to a foreign exchange student about some of the games you played as a child. This person has only been in the United States for three weeks.
![Page 4: STRATEGIC THINKING SKILLS: SEEING TOMORROW... TODAY](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56813c6e550346895da600ae/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
The two of you have been sharing the unique differences between your cultures when it comes to playing games. In passing, you mention one of your favorite back-of-the-school-bus pastimes: Rock, Paper, Scissors. The foreign exchange student is having trouble understanding both the process and principle of this bit of childhood trivia.

After some prodding, you agree to instruct this student in the fine art of Rock, Paper, Scissors. What would be the first step to instructing this person who knows nothing about Rock, Paper, Scissors?

Business and other human endeavors are also systems. They, too, are bound
by invisible fabrics of interrelated actions, which often take years to fully
play out their effects on eachother. Since we are part of that lacework
our-selves, it’s doubly hard to see the whole pattern of change. Instead, we
tend to focus on snapshots of isolated parts of the system, and wonder why our
deepest problems neverseem to get solved. -- The Fifth Discipline

1. We keep repeating the same unsuccessfulsystems…because they offer us “safety.”
2. Smart-risk-taking is the leadership skill most promoted and the least rewarded.
3. Exhaustion is a wonderful excuse for remaining disengaged.
4. Money gets the qualified staff in the door but it does not keep them there.
5. “Personal mastery” is possible for everyone.

Personal mastery is the (1) disciplineof continually clarifying and
deepening our personal vision,of (2) focusing our energies, of
(3) developing patience, and of (4)seeingreality objectively. As such, it
is an essential cornerstone of thelearning organization -- the
