Personal Mastery
"Personal mastery goes beyond competence and skills…it means approaching one’s life as a creative work, living life from a creative as opposed to a reactive viewpoint." Peter Senge
Personal mastery is about creating what one wants in life and in work.
Characteristics of people that exhibit Personal mastery:
- They have a sense of purpose that lies behind their goals
- Their vision is more like a calling than a good idea
- They see current reality as an ally, not an enemy
- They are committed to seeing reality increasingly accurately
- They are extremely inquisitive
- They do not resist, but work with, the forces of change
- They feel connected to others and to life itself
- They feel that they are part of a larger creative process that they can influence but cannot unilaterally control
