What Does Energy Have To Do With Leadership? Everything!


Like everything in the universe, we are energetic beings.  We are constantly releasing positive and negative charges that either work for us or against us.  These charges are our energy.  Our energy and how we experience life, is determined by our thoughts/beliefs, emotions/feelings and actions/behaviors.  Everyone has a mix of different energies and they show up in different situations uniquely to each of us.  Think of your energy like a stock on the NYSE.  Stocks fluctuate during the trading day and close at new prices reflecting the day's activity.  As humans, we are like stocks, with our energy going up or down all day long.  Thoughts and feelings such as joy, non-judgment, raise the price of our stock.  Victimization, anger, blaming others will lower our stock value.

These fluctuations in energy vary in each of us depending on how we perceive things going on in our lives.  Stressful situations will release energy that will either work for you or against you - the same can be said when things are going well.  Here is the beautiful part, we all have the ability to raise our energy by understanding our awareness of what is going on around us and deciding how we are going to show up in our world and how we allow the world to impact us, positively, just by adjusting our thoughts, emotions and actions.   Our level of energy directly determines our success.

Leadership and executive development, through understanding our level of awareness or energy, is a very powerful and impactful learning experience.  However, many executives balk to discover this important tool as they generally view "energy" as some kind of soft skill or some far eastern methodology.  It is not and is well rooted in western culture. Heightened self awareness is a key component of critical leadership as it increases your options, decisions and interactions with greater positive energy.

Energy Leadership is the process that develops a personally effective style of leadership that positively influences and changes not only yourself, but also those with whom you work and interact, as well as your organization as a whole.  The Energy Leadership Development system is firmly rooted in 7 levels of awareness or energy, which will catapult your energy and performance to a level that is "ideal" for you.  This two part system is made up of an introduction and 8 building blocks of an energetic leader. The program is completely customized to each leader and offers a baseline for current level of awareness, performance and effectiveness.

This is a profound and applicable form of leadership development that allows the process of leading energy to work for you, rather than against you.  By learning, understanding and applying the principles and concepts of Energy Leadership, you can increase your ability to shift your own energy and the energy of those around you.  When you do that you will help inspire and motivate yourself and others, feel a greater sense of purpose, get more done with much less effort and stress, and constantly attract positive and powerful people and success to you.  Once you realize that your level of awareness is directly related to your actions, you can move from functioning effectively to functioning optimally.

So, what does energy have to do with leadership?  I think you now know some of the answers to this question. The 8 building block of the Energetic Leader provide the accelerated training needed to master the areas necessary to become an ideal leader: 1) emotional intelligence, 2) dynamic communications, 3) Influencing and Engage Others, 4) Problem Solving, 5) Productivity and Decision Making, 6) High Energy Relationships, 7) Health & Wellness, 8) Time Management and Balance.  The results are dramatic and yield for leaders more production, less effort with more fulfillment!
