  41. “We never have enough time. Every organization we visit always talks about time as if it’s the victorious enemy. We keep going and going and going, like the Eveready Energizer Bunny. We need to create the space to learn, examine our own assumptions, and to grow. Reflection does not have to be a huge time commitment, but it can have tremendous payback.” Belden, Hyatt and Ackley: The Learning Organization
