You Control Much More Than You Think!

Unleashing the Power of Consciousness, Matter, & Miracles

By Bruce H. Lipton, PhD

The revelations in Dr Bruce Lipton’s research is a major breakthrough that will change the way we think about what influences our personal success and fulfillment .  For years we have considered DNA and our genes as major determinants of our destiny – mentally, physically and emotionally.    With the revelations from his and many other biologists research, Dr. Lipton turns this major hypothesis on its ear.

As stated in my entry on August 5th – development as a human being is not stagnant after a certain age.  We have untold potential to rise to higher and higher states of awareness.  As we grow we have the ability to find greater levels of success and fulfillment as well as the capacity to lead ourselves and others through increasingly complex situations.  Just like a snow flake or set of finger prints, each of us has our own unique expression through which we approach achieving achievement, people and our own personal fulfillment.  We come into the work place with our own special talents as well as achilles heels.  That being said, recent research by Bob Anderson of The Leadership Circle – as well as years of research done in the leadership and human development field – has shown that at a high level there are three primary mindsets that human beings take on as they move into adulthood.  While we each of us has contact with all three – most of us will lean heavily in one direction.

I have labeled these three orientations as:

• The Achiever
• The Intellectual
• The Relater

In our last entry we took a deeper look at the key qualities and the leveraged developmental path for The Achiever.  In this entry we will examine The Intellectual. (more…)

  For the Achiever - Winning is Everything!
  As indicated in my last entry, the development of leadership capacity in an individual is an issue of human development.  In other words, leaders are not born they are made.  Yet, just as one size does not fit all – there is no one style of leadership that fits everyone.  By understanding specific developmental pathways and how they related to leadership enables us to help executive leaders add velocity towards increasing their leadership impact.

In short, the pathway of development into a strong executive leader involves moving from a more reactive stance to one that is more proactive and creative.  It is an issue of evolving and transforming into higher orders of who you already are.  There are three primary developmental orientations: ¹:

• The Achiever
• The Intellectual
• The Relate

We live in an exciting time in the executive development field.  In short,

• Recent research has shown compelling evidence that an evolved executive leader can make a huge difference in expanding profitability, performance, employee loyalty, etc.
• There is strong alignment amongst the many leadership models on the competencies an executive leader must embody to strengthen their impact.
• Based on this clarity as well as the ground breaking work of many – processes and methods have been created that are proven to add velocity onto the development process.

“The study was a real eye opener. Even after adopting the most conservative approach to determining the return on investment, we showed 700% in ROI for the coaching initiative (at Booz Allen Hamilton)”

While executive coaching is only one piece to the puzzle – it is an approach that has proven we can build programs that work.  Given all of this plus the recognition that we find ourselves in challenging times that are crying for more leadership – you have to wonder why organizations and their senior leadership teams are not fully embracing the journey towards greater development of their leadership?

Today we say farwell to “The King of Pop.”  Whether you believe that Michael Jackson’s death and life is receiving its due or feel that the coverage of this is overkill – Michael is teaching all of us two powerful and highly related lessons. First, as the founder of Motown, Berry Gordy, said during his speech at Michael’s memorial service “Michael was like two people.  Off stage he was shy and unassuming. Yet when he took stage and performed for his fans he was fully in charge, a true master.”  Few would discount Michael’s genius on stage and few would deny that his end came as a result of him losing the battle with his inner demons.  And both of these sides of Michael provide lessons to all of us trying to make a bigger impact in life.
