Leadership is the shaping of power, my own and others.

Enlightened leadership is the shaping of the leader’s sensory observations, thoughts, feelings and desires and the actions that follow…as well as shaping that of others in the group. “Shaping” includes becoming aware, honoring and orchestrating what he and the group members are experiencing.  The true nature of power is the capacity to experience self and respond to that experience effectively. The opportunity to see and address this is always present in any group. The leader, over and over again, is managing energy between himself and another, or between others.
