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.

The purpose of this next series of entries is to provide a practical view of the key pathways of development for executive leaders. Earlier entries in this blog have acknowledged that we are in an exciting time in the executive development field.  A very clear development pathway has been defined along with proven processes for increasing the impact of executive leadership.  If after scanning this entry you are interested in more background for this article you can refer to these previous entries:

• The Truth About Leadership Development
• The Last Obstacle to Executive Development = The Executive

At the root of all this innovation is the confirmation that as adults we continue to develop our mindset and consciousness as we move through life.  The work of Robert Kegan, Lawrence Kohlberg, Ken Wilber, Sara N.

The Call for Leadership

In my last two entries I shared some predictions and suggestions for successfully dealing with the current economic crisis.  These suggestions and predictions were based on historical research done by William Strauss and Neil Howe in their Book “The Fourth Turning – An American Prophecy.”   The book written in 1994 predicted that we were moving towards the next great American Crisis and so far the author’s prophecies have been eerily on target.  Whether or not Strauss’s and Howe’s predictions come true or not – we can certainly agree we are in unprecedented times and one of the keys to meeting the challenges of such a time has always been strong leadership.

Why is leadership so critical now?  Because leaders ultimately are the ones who create breakthroughs, challenge old ways of thinking, help others to find the strength to rise to a challenge and ultimately to share in the solutions that ultimately can take us to new heights.  In an earlier entry entitled “Markers for Executive Success” – I outlined three overarching competency arenas for transformational leadership:

• Personal Engagement
• Interpersonal Engagement
• Organizational Engagement

I will leverage these three areas as anchors for exploring the leadership imperative for the challenging times we find ourselves in.
